Even the alternatives require coal because of input of pig iron I didn't know that. I thought it was a cost issue as in its cheaper to use coal in the process than other materials.

Gotta have it for steel even when you're recycling it or any scrap for that matter. If we truly want a greener world then solar is about all we can do and that's about it truthfully.

OILERMAN Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 8 hours ago, headhunter said: Noticed Oman didn't mention drilling. Coal for power plants is dying but there's dozens and dozens of different kinds of coal used for different things and that's why itll always be mined. Y'all think it's gonna disappear but it never will I promise you. Trump didn't have an effect slowing down the drop off in coal jobs, there are plenty of graphs to point to the drop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
