It's a very reliable source. Great, great source. If you look at some of the most prosperous places in the world, they run on coal. Since I took office, coal production is up by nearly 4 million tons a month after falling for decades. I mean, literally decades. Coal power generation is up by nearly 15% in my first year. And that number is going to be about 25 or 30% this coming year at least. (29:25–29:32)
