*Telling unemployed coal miners to learn to code was a very stupid thing to
say, but not NEARLY as cosmologically stupid as expecting coal to be the
thing that will power future AI data centers when solar is far more
economical thanks to the MASSIVE improvements in solar cells over the last
15 years  And turning coal miners into computer programmers is a
positively brilliant idea compared to spending $928 million of taxpayers
money to a French company to get them to STOP building 2 massive wind farms
off the coast of New York and North Carolina. That decision by He Who Must
Not Be Named belongs in the Stupidity Hall of Fame.*
