Blackouts
We sold the Chinese all of our 2nd hand underground coal mining machinery back in the day! We need it back now! If someone other than the imbecile we presently have at the nation's tiller could take over, we could get back to mining coal cheaply by using automated robots, no need for hundreds of militant miners, just a few techies in front of a touch screen controlling events. Meanwhile all windmill subsidies should be removed and redirected towards clean coal technology. We are sitting upon hundreds of thousands of tons of the stuff and with today's tech we should be able to extract it more efficiently and cheaply. If we really are short of co2, then what better way to create it other than by burning coal, which also has the beneficial side effect of creating coal gas at the same time, so no need for Putin's ransomgas
China is not the only place with fuel shortages -
