“Coal is to be thanked for all of its hard work and it now deserves to be retired. It is of retirement age and needs to be put in the retirement home,” Ms. Figueres said. From the NYTimes.
Most fossilized of fossil fuels, King Coal has had his day.
With solar power and the wind, he’s at the end of play.
He powered locomotives and our smokestack industries,
And maybe even saved us from destroying all our trees.
But now we’re growing weary of his senile trail of dust.
He scatters clinkers ev’rywhere; his performance has gone bust.
In India and China he’s enshrined just like a god;
But in the West we see him mostly as a used-up fraud.
But still there are exploiters who won’t give him any rest.
They’ve staked him for a long time and won’t see him be repressed.
Perhaps we should make Pruitt go into an old folk’s home
Before we are all buried in a sooty catacomb!
