natural gas is only 40% cleaner than coal. Petroleum is probably about the same, if not worse, due to all the dirty oil we refine on a daily basis.

The fact that nuclear is still significantly better than coal, and it’s comparatively “clean” alternatives, should be a fucking telling statement.

Oh and on the fact of coal power plants, i would recommend you look into australia, clean coal, china, germany (post gas export shenanigans) and steel manufacturing (though that’s not a power plant)
