Coal mines were still thriving...?

 

[Lempface]

What an odd thought.

Or tobacco was still king?! (Edit: this is sarcasm. lol)

Coal mines are going to be back soon I believe. New tech. out that will use coal in to make products for computers. I wish i could remember where i read that.

Coal derived carbon. Be great as long as we’re not burning it.

Kentucky is the Capital of Race Horse Breeding and Bourbon Making which is all ready established. Just add a .25 to the price of a Ale 8 and that would bring in a fortune.. HaHa

Coal-derived Carbon Material Improves Performance and Efficiency of Computer Microelectronic Devices

The modern economy is increasingly data-driven and dependent on advanced computing at a time when the traditional semiconductor materials used for computers are reaching their absolute performance limits. This gap in materials performance is pushing researchers to develop new materials for...

Coal is a finite resource and its long term viability is non-existent. Burning it releases mercury, heavy metals, and radioactive nucleotides into our air and water. I don't think coal will return to its prominence in this country any time soon. I think nuclear, solar, water, and other "clean" energy sources is the way forward once Americans get over their heebie-jeebies. I'm not being political here. Just saying.

That said, I'm surprised bourbon and horse interests haven't been more vocal in their NIL support, if supportive at all. What about Toyota? Granted, I haven't scouted out our NIL deals, so maybe I'm being overly critical based on what's publicly stated.

We were specifically talking about non-burning uses.

Doubt the Japanese ownership cares anything about UK sports.
Bourbon, it's Kentucky made but is it Kentucky owned?

About 19% is Japanese owned so that leaves a pretty solid share of the market owned locally or in the US.

Ah, my bad. Extraction has its own issues, but at least it's concentrated and not diffuse.

True. Overall not a fan, but was responding to the new tech for use in computing.

Wasn't familiar with that usage. I'll have to look into it!
