How about Coalie’s older brother, Black Lungie?
That along with weakening of child labor laws should make it much easier to children into the exciting world of coal mining.
If the popularity of Minecraft proved anything it is that children yearn for the mines
Instructions unclear pushed a child onto a landmine.
Just need a mascot of a little orphan boy with a bad cough. Black lung Billy, here to teach you about Kentucky's long and proud tradition of coal mining and why scrip needs to be legalized
These fucks know coal is on its way out, the game is just to get their grubby little fingers on as many taxpayer-funded subsidies as they can before cover completely runs out.
Leave it to conservatives to come up with the least imaginative mascot possible.
I grew up in a county powered by Nuclear. The weird thing is that the plant was in basically the most beautiful part of the area. Their are hiking trails and parks nearby. And the artificial lakes are a huge tourist draw. Some of the most expensive real estate is practically in the shadow of the cooling towers.
The power generation that suffers from bad publicity is not coal.
Coal power plants emit more radiation than nuclear plants.
Oh coal has bad publicity if you ever go to visit the top less mountains in Appalachia or speak to a doctor there. Coal, it'll kill you and your family too!
Looks like a Level 7 Constipation turd with eyes.
If Trump was smarter he would defend coal by noting its need for making steel.
Hydrogen can be used as an alternative.
It can be used as a heat source sure
But the thing that makes steel steel is that it contains carbon
Dig iron ore up from the ground, and it's not going to have much if any carbon in it.
And unless you have some crazy particles accelerator/fusion reactor nonsense going on, nothing you do with just hydrogen is going to get carbon into that steel, because there's no carbon in hydrogen either.
Coal, however, is mostly carbon, so using as the heat source naturally tends to add carbon into your iron to make steel.
There's other ways of doing it, but at the end of the day most of them kind of rely on coal in one way or another at some point in the process because it's a really convenient source of carbon.
The next best alternative is probably cutting down a bunch of trees to process into charcoal
Would be really damn cool to be able to suck CO2 out of the air and use that carbon somehow, but to the best of my knowledge no one has figured out any efficient way to do that at scale.
Imagine being the person to make that graphic.
“You’re going to make pollution fun!”
“Yay! I’m a fucking asshole! Gotta eat tho!”
I'm just glad they settled on something cartoonish for the mascot. A few of the concepts in the pitch meeting would have fit right in at a minstrel show.
This is straight out of a Fallout game.
Could be another scene from Idiocracy too
I did not expect to wake up in a Simpson's episode this morning.

Politicians being "pro coal" has reached the point of being comical to me
Coal is dead
We are never going to build another coal power plant in the US. Everything politicians do, and say, around coal is nothing but pandering
Coalie has a look in his eyes that screams "help im a victim". The artist must have based of their kid.
Coalie says “You wanna get high?”
"Hi, everyone! I'm Coalie. Just shove a lump of me up a republicans ass and I'll be a diamond in no time at all."
In the past I warmed myself with a coal fire, now I warm myself with a heat pump. I will stick with the heat pump because I am not a fucking moron.
Fuck you coalie!
Worst PR firm ever: "I know! We'll put big eyes a chunk of coal, and it will be cute. Y'know, for the kids! That will save our entire dying industry!"
Also this one https://youtu.be/IfvBx4D0Cms
“Coalie” was the best they could come up with?
I know they just squeezed this out of the AI sphincter, but did they have to name it like a parody character created by a cartoon villain?
Whats funny with coal is im fine if we use it as a base material as long as we don't burn it. Like as feedstock for carbon fiber. Thing is the industry wants to rip it out full speed and burning it is the only process that uses it fast enough for them.
Does industry even want to do that? Seems like it just isn't worth it given all of the difficulties and expenses involved with using goal. Unless like they want to ban NG for being too woke.
