everyone buy one, because even though it might be 30 minutes to charge your car and it's not really hard to plug it in, wouldn't you like to not get out of your car? So with the current technology, you have to always get out of your car, right? Even if you're just plugging it in for an electric charge, that little bit of work where you have to get out of your car and the weather might not be idea…

be bad for the world. But we live in a time in which people are way less worried about CO2.

So there are two big objections to coal. One is it puts CO2 into the atmosphere at a pretty big pace. But at the moment that's not terribly concerning the way it was even two years ago because even the mainstream media is starting to admit, well, we don't have necessarily a climate crisis. Even Bill Gates is now saying it's not a crisis. But the other part is that it's also just a pollutant, and air pollution kills a lot of people. So I wondered how many people get killed by coal as a pollutant, not as a CO2. And I went to AI, went to Grok, and they said there are estimates that coal might kill up to 10,000 people per year just by being a pollutant.

Now, what is the first thing you ask yourself if you see an estimate that coal might kill 10,000 people a year? I think that's just in America. Yeah, I think. Well, the first thing you should ask yourself is who did the study and what was their motivation? Can we believe a study about how many people were killed by coal? Remember, it's 2025 and we've learned that every corner of science, every corner of politics is corrupt. Can you trust that 10,000 people a year are being killed by coal? And then secondly, what percentage of all the people being killed by pollution is that? Is it 1 percent of all the people killed by pollution? Is it half?

Well, also according to Grok, something like 40 to 60,000 people per year are killed by pollution. So if these numbers were right, and I'm very skeptical, if the numbers are right, it would be 10,000 out of 40 to 60,000 direc

tly just because of extra use of coal or just coal in general, not the extra. So here's what's interesting if it's true. Oh, and by the way, the number of people who are dying from pollution has been dropping year to year, and the drop in those deaths is being attributed to the closing of coal plants. But now the coal plants are not only not closing, they're reopening and going wild. So what woul…
