Same thing as wałęsa. They are kinda similar in more aspects just that Trump is coming from lumpenbougie and wałęsa from lumpenprole.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Need a coal dusted 
Only tangentially related.
Why do we still mine coal? Coal mining, from what I hear, is extremely destructive, not only to the environment, but to the body. Compare that to charcoal, and while it's still pretty dirty, it doesn't require smacking a pick onto a rock that spits toxic dust into your face. The process to make charociaI is also inherently contained, as it requires you keep the wood in a small space with no air flow. I mean, looking online, I barely see any differences between coal and charcoal. The most I see was one Reddit comment saying "coal burns longer."
Steelmaking requires huge amounts of coal. Early British steel industry used charcoal and deforested most of the island in the process, and now we produce several orders of magnitude more steel globally. We simply don't have enough forests.
Good point, comrade. Thanks for bringing it up!
antiquated steel manufacturing processes depend on the use of coke, which is the charcoal of coal
Let me guess, it's one of those situations where there is there is a better method available but nobody has invested in the infrastructure to use this new method?
China developed a flash ironmaking method (3600 times more productive) that removes the dependency on coke
The team also revealed that this new ironmaking technology could improve energy efficiency in China’s steel industry by over one-third, further enhancing its environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness. It is also expected to enable the steel industry to achieve the coveted goal of ‘near-zero carbon dioxide emissions.’
China W.
Steel production emits something like 1.4 tons of CO2 per 1 ton of steel made. The steel industry is responsible for about 8% of global carbon emissions. Not only for the high temperatures required but because carbon is used to reduce iron ore to pure iron, and because carbon is a component of steel alloy. Liquid natural gas is used as well, and there's a "green" version of steel production that uses hydrogen instead of carbon to reduce the iron ore. But today almost all hydrogen is produced from natural gas.
Yeah, it's definitely a fuck. 
I was just saying that there might have been a better way to do it but since Porky doesn't care about "better" it's never been done, yk?
I've definitely seen big electric arc furnaces in places like China and Korea, although i don't know if that's only for steel recycling. Hopefully with how many fucktillion watts of power China is producing now, they can figure out an all-electric method of steel production.
