If he gets two Democrat Senators in Georgia, the likelihood of the answer being "Yes" increases dramatically.

I talked to the manager of the mine I get bit at and he seems to think it’s highly unlikely.

There was a huge state of the art coal powered energy plant built in china in recent years. I remember seeing pictures on the internet, and reading about it.

All these "plans" usually have a 20-30 year time line and theres no way Dems will be Prez that long in a row. Its all just political BS to get votes somehow.

Anthracite is an insignificant amount of US coal production so no government action is likely.
