looks like coal has lost about a quarter of its value over the past year, I fully expect the Trump admin to subsidize the stuff before his second term is over.
edit: wow scroll that chart further back and you’ll see a HUGE spike in the coal price during the Biden admin. Was that driven by the COVID-related supply chain issues? Anyway even with the drop off over the past year we’re still above the pre-COVID coal price which is interesting.
Here’s the cited report, since I didn’t see it linked:

edit: okay, they technically linked to an article which draws on the report, but in that article instead of the report they link to Ember’s 404 page. No, I don’t mean that the link is broken and leads to a 404…they’re literally linking directly to the 404 page lmao (it’s the first link in the article if you want to check for yourself)
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
