No our trains run on time except when they derail and catch the river on fire.

Was watching his speech today and he went off on coal and talking about Westinghouse and the "big beautiful....I don't know locomotives? Whatever they're called" and alluding that coal being down was the reason Westinghouse was having probs.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he thought they ran on pixie dust.

Impossible! There is no coal. Hillary stopped that a while ago.

Frigging fracking. Both have stopped now that oil is so cheap.

Looked up a bunch of articles, apparently Trump was promising coal jobs.

Personally I would like to see us hold onto hydrocarbons for materials tech down the line.

@Kilemall Yea that was the gist. But when coal prices are what they were when I last worked in the mid 1980s I can't see how anyone can afford to mine it. The company I worked for closed 90% of their mines in 1986 with coal at 50.00 a ton. When I last checked a few weeks back coal was 41.10 per ton.

Don't blame me. That's all Tigger. He has this Uber math composer so that we can make sure we enter those complicated equations properly into the forum.

The math gnome price can be steep.
