Keiser Report: Making Coal Great Again? (E1100)

[Este episodio en Español] Max and Stacy as Mythbusters! Can coal be cleaned? Is it a chance to revive US energy sector, or is it another ploy of the corporations tied to a dirty technologies? Why would anyone use dirty technology in the wake of explosive rise of renewables? And why is CO₂, industrial waste product, injected into your Coca Cola?

In this episode of the Keiser Report’s annual Summer Solutions series, Max and Stacy talk to Tyson Slocum, Director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, about whether or not Donald Trump can make coal great again. Probably not as coal’s decline has little to do with environmental regulations and everything to do with competition from natural gas. They discuss energy and climate policy and how they may work toward a better American economy and infrastructure.

Tyson Slocum is director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, covering climate change, coal, oil, fracking, nuclear energy, renewables and commodity market oversight. Tyson Slocum advocates for decentralized, affordable renewable energy for working families. Tyson has expertise on federal subsidies for the energy sector and promotes refocusing such incentives away from the nuclear, oil and coal industries toward rooftop solar and wind energy, energy efficiency and mass transit.
