          It’s mostly sarcasm.

          As shitty and harmful our extraction methods are, they’re still better than some of the other countries. Which isn’t to say “I love clean coal” or some such nonsense.

          All our fancy gadgets are using natural resources from “artisan mines” and warlords using slavery to make a dollar and we’re still using them. Some of us line up for hours to get the latest Apple Pod 9000+ every year 📱

              I appreciate that.

              Eco-warriors and elitist left wingers don’t like hearing counter points any more than those “change my mind…” type of Conservative grifters.

              Bro, they want coal cuz they got over a billion people who need electricity. India’s gdp per capita in 2025 was $2,702 USian dollars, with massive income disparity.

              Sell em coal, not a course on Western values and environmental concerns of privileged westerners.
