It has NOTHING to do with solar. Everything to do with natural gas. Natural gas is simply cheap and has been very cheap because of, wait for it...Trump's policies: permitting and deregulation.

Natural gas has been kicking coal's arse since the late Bush years, not during the Trump administration. Eventually, solar and wind started competing as the technology is further developed.

Solar is a frickin joke

The natural gas boom is the reason the US is by far the leader in reducing emissions yet dumbass liberals are against natural gas because it’s a big meanie fossil fuel

How viable is the tech converting coal to liquid or gas? The Germans were doing it way back in WW2.
