    As strange as it seems given the whole, you know, this, the United States is only a small part of the world.

    Little Donald ordering closed coal plants to reopen like a Captain Planet villain is only going to impact a relatively small number of power plants - and those coal plants are going to close back down as soon as they’re legally allowed to, for the same reason they closed in the first place, because they don’t make economic sense anymore.

    Meanwhile, the people buying solar because they can’t trust oil and gas supplies, and the governments investing in renewables because they don’t want to be held hostage the next time the United States gets a bug up its ass about Iran, will still have those solar and renewables long after Little Donald has retired to his private massage parlor in Mar-A-Lago.
