Follow along for a day's worth of action in Wyoming's Powder River Basin
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoSure. But dotancohen's claim was that the only remaining energy was thousands of feet under sea, which is very false, even if the places that we currently want to burn coal are not all that close to the Powder River. But if we're rebuilding civilization, well, the iron ore mine that supplied US Steel's Geneva Works is also in Wyoming, not that far away. And once you get an industrial revolution up and running, among other things you get railroads, which are useful for transporting coal longer distances.
- LargoLasskhyfv 4y agoTBH, I'd bet the tracks would be torn apart first to get at the steel, maybe even for the sleepers/ties.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoSure. But if we have to re-start the industrial revolution, those tracks probably don't go to the right places anyway. And if we can re-start the industrial revolution, then we can make new rails.
