US only has about 500 coal fired power plants and those are slowly being shut down.
That just goes to prove how big of a SUCKER the US is. While we phase out coal, the rest of the world uses more and more. Look in the mirror, see that word stamped on your forehead? And don’t forget to keep putting them same people back in power.

If you have ever visited China you would probably be anti coal. Took a business trip there years ago with three co workers. Air was thick enough to cut. Took a train from Hong Kong to Guanghou passing some kind of coal plants. For probably a mile diameter around them the ground was black with coal dust. We all had respiratory issues for 3-4 weeks after our return. Our company’s business was in controls for power plants and I visited a lot of them. Retired now. US plants are much cleaner but still not a place you would likely choose to live near.

not sure where 3000 new coal plants number came from but I suspect (a) someone slipped a digit or mare likely 2 and (b) NG, solar or wind with battery or dam reservoirs, wind, etc. is more than capable of negating the need for most any coal plant.
bury your head in the sand if you want, but it's going to happen, will it be by 2035? I'll say no, but we will be at a point of the majority if not vast majority of at least passenger and LT vehicles being all electric and IMHO virtually NO vehicle that is not at least a hybrid if not plug in hybrid.
We already have a fleet of city buses that are all electric, doing well and much nicer to be behind than the older diesel buses.

My brother retired last year from one of the biggest coal companies in the US. Their coal was and will be all going to China as fast as they can mine it. At the time of his retirement they still had 20 years left on a contract to supply electric power plants there. Years ago our family was in the strip mining business and every pound of it went to Japan. They use our energy to produce products they sell to us, like wind mills and solar panels. We elect them and we then pay the price. ICEs will go this century as horses went in the last. I don't like it, but that is the way it is. America is only a small part of this earth and as long as India, China, and many others continue to burn coal the air will never clean up.

grit,
if you want to complain about the car tab initative put lisence tabs at $35, they already are. Mr Eyman as he has muktiple times keeps putting this initative on the ballet. Issue is, in Wa st constitution, an initative can only effect one law.
his one initative tries to remove sound transit taxes, at least one, if not 3-4 tax laws, tonnage fees, another law. Local coynty and city license tax laws.....
you're a smart dude, i know this, opposite pokitics as me, but, do you really think what he wrote is not going to get repealed by these other jurisdictions? of course it will. As it should.
the other recent initative that the NRA said they would appeal, the gun control one. That too was a very appealable initative. it also effected more than one state law. Did anyone apeal it? nope!
i voted against both. As they were were uncobstitunal, illegal per our states laws.
Complain if you want to about both. niether shoukd be on the books.

Turtle n Peeps, I heard Kalifornia was changing its name to Cali-fornicate-ya.
But it might just be a rumor.
