Top U.S. Coal Boss Optimistic About Industry Future During Trump Administration
2017-03-28
[LI] The head of America’s "largest privately held" coal firm has expressed optimism for his industry under President Donald Trump after a meeting held last month.

Murray Energy’s CEO and founder Robert Murray spoke with The Guardian on Monday. He believes that Trump will stick to his campaign promises for the coal industry by reducing regulations and overturning a few of President Barack Obama’s plans related to climate change.

It’s hard to deny his thoughts as coal communities in Virginia have seen a drastic positive change since Trump became president.

#3  Regarding the laws of Thermo..
After awhile the water should warm up as work is being done on it.

#2  #1 Skidmark. the water is then stored in the lower reservoir until it can be pumped back up to the top reservoir using cheaper, off-peak power or another renewable energy source.

Intriguing. There will be some energy losses in pumping water from the lower reservoirs to higher reservoirs. This is where renewable fuels come in. Got to obey those Laws of Thermo.
