Coal’s not going to make a comeback

Solar energy is killing coal, despite Trump’s promises

The rapidly falling cost of solar energy is going to make it difficult for President Trump to deliver on his promise to put coal miners back to work.

Trump has taken steps to ease the burden on coal country by ripping up environmental rules and pledging to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord.

But those deregulatory steps do little to offset the mounting long-term challenge that coal faces from cleaner forms of energy, especially solar.

Good.

Evans Middle School adventure

Evans Middle School

And then there was that one time around midnight when I was all liquored up, and in my teens and by myself, and thought… “I need an adventure.”

So I stumble-walked 30 minutes over to the middle school, climbed to the top, and plopped down.

And I sat there with only a few swallows left in my quarter of beer, in the middle of the night, with my feet dangling over the side, and thought… “this is no adventure.”

AirDropping with Meredith

Airdropping with Meredith Airdropping with Meredith

Meredith was sitting one seat over from us on the train. No idea who she was other than that she was going to Chicago. No idea why she didn’t want my picture either.

PS- AirDrop is a simple way to send files to another phone/computer.

Slo mo midwestern train ride - MP4

This is what it’s like to ride Amtrak in the Midwest. Exactly like this. When your train is running an hour and a half late. When you’re ready to be home.

I haven’t been on the train for five minutes and the guy next to me after taking a drink of his coffee whispered satisfying to himself, “Oh Jesus.”

I’m going to throw his traveling coffee mug out the window. He keeps screwing the lid on and off, all the way up and all the way down. I can hear the rubber seals straining each time he needs a drink. Apparently the overly complicated lid with its pulleys, levers, and hinges is too much for one man.

He just pulled out a Tupperware with six hard boiled eggs. I’ll wager he pounds all six down — he *is* wearing sunglasses after all.

It didn’t get really bad until he took off his shoes and then asked the train conductor how fast we were going.

I KNOW him! Did the pharts have a significant malty nose? Dirty laundry, tobacco smoke, too many pets with too little square footage and a yeast infection. Am I right? Cleetus. Cleetus Johnson. And the eggs were brown.
