I can make the argument that if you lose those coal fields in the northeast and you lose the ability to have the power that they currently produce, you can never replace that.

the government must ensure that the U.S. has baseload capability that only coal and nuclear can bring. The wind doesn't always blow. The sun doesn't always shine and gas pipelines are interruptible.

Abundant, affordable, natural gas is key to driving down those energy poverty statistics.

I think it's a great opportunity for this country to have a conversation about the climate and get the politics out of it and bring the scientists together.
