      FFS there are absolutely regulators that are pushing against coal, several being mentioned in the article specifically and including the EPA itself. Being skeptical is one thing, but just ignoring the entire article isn’t remotely productive.

      I don’t doubt it. They might be laughing and ignoring what they’re listening to as they count their next set of bribes, but their listening.
