US only has about 500 coal fired power plants and those are slowly being shut down.
That just goes to prove how big of a SUCKER the US is. While we phase out coal, the rest of the world uses more and more. Look in the mirror, see that word stamped on your forehead? And don’t forget to keep putting them same people back in power.
If you have ever visited China you would probably be anti coal. Took a business trip there years ago with three co workers. Air was thick enough to cut. Took a train from Hong Kong to Guanghou passing some kind of coal plants. For probably a mile diameter around them the ground was black with coal dust. We all had respiratory issues for 3-4 weeks after our return. Our company’s business was in controls for power plants and I visited a lot of them. Retired now. US plants are much cleaner but still not a place you would likely choose to live near.
Fwiw
Last time I checked China is going solar wind hydro to lower the polution.

China coal power plants
THIS^^^^^, everyone I have ever meet that worked in China says the air is soooo bad that they had to go out into the country to get their lungs cleared. They are massive polluters and could care less about the environment. - BB_TXNomad

BTW Fish, did you know someone recorded you with your new Kalifornia neighbors? .
:B very funny vid
Honestly tho anyone thinking guns are solution to crime is nutz.
Go visit Japan or Singapore or Philipines or any asian country to see how safe it is without everyone packing heat.
Let you know their secret,,they execute drug pushers
https://youtu.be/EqojEHuCoVQ - No kidding, Huntindog. My Solitude was over $2000 the first year.
In Ohio, any pickup, car or RV registration is under $100, no matter year or price of the vehicle.
Ohio is taxing EVs since they don't pay state tax on gasoline.
What I don't like is the guvmint trying to force EVs on us. I won't buy one until it makes sense for me and right now it doesn't. - HuntindogExplorer

I cannot fathom why they would choose AZ.
U Haul registers all their trucks in AZ (look it up). How does the lack of U Haul trucks in CA relate to CA regs on registrations?
we get raped on vehicle registrations here. - NamMedevac_70Explorer IIWell Grit Dog (**) I am a former full time RVer (travel trailer) and now a truck and tent camper. You seem to be more interested in other topics than RV stuff so lay off bud. You are desperately trying to be moderator and censor now. Who appointed you????. I backup many of my post with facts and links to recent business news articles about EV and ICE vehicles that may help the few or many that may be affected. I think your pettiness is over the top sport.
Also Mr. Slow I am now in the market for a small TT.

Glad you like it Fish. Check out the rest of the videos they have. They are super funny and right on the money. With open boarders and the new grifters moving in I do wish you luck man. You will need it. Turtle n Peeps wrote:

See, just like I said, you're informed.
BTW Fish, did you know someone recorded you with your new Kalifornia neighbors? Check it out!!! It's all over the internet.
BTW check out where those U-hauls are going. Texas name going to be changed to Kalifornia Light.
That's a good video... One attribute I won't cover, but I'm sure you noticed as well. :E
