What did I miss on "(and soon to be major exporter, unless Biden slows that down due to the horrific natural costs of extraction)"? Is this a reference to fracking?if you wanted to be more specific we can. The US is largely turning to be a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) consumer (and soon to be major exporter, unless Biden slows that down due to the horrific natural costs of extraction). However, it's unlikely that LNG will be the future growth due to the costs of extraction and environmental damage. Generally speaking, the US likes to offshore that sort of horrific land destruction on 3rd world nations (Hello Tesla battery "recycling" landfills in Africa!).
When LNG drops in volume, Coal will be the single easiest source to replace that lost production.
Hydro produces about 25% of our states energy (we sell the excess off to California so they don't have to burn coal) so we're a massive outlier of the country.
But most of the country looks more or less like this:

I thought the fracking was primarily for oil with natural gas a bonus by product.
Does coal also have "horrific natural costs of extraction"?
Back on topic: the 2 dr bronco with a 17 gallon tank will give me range anxiety in Utah. I may have to invest in a supplemental supply tank.
