Lots of coal burning leads to a powerful coal lobby leads to lots of coal burning, it's the circle of life. All that's missing is coal entering the food chain, IMO we should bring back coal butter, so the country can depend on coal even more and the coal lobby can make even more profits.

That was a horrible thing to read but a wonderful thing to know.
"Coal butter! Power yourself with the power of coal! Available in lignite and anthracite! And for those extremely demanding consumer: new charcoal butter! 100% natural sourced!"
(I'll excuse myself now.)

The utter beauty of the whole thing is that with the overall efficiency of the process of making coal butter, we could justify lots and lots of more lignite strip mining to both make the actual coal butter and to power the butter making process. Coal lobbyists will love it!

The wiki entry literally states that it was discontinued due to its manufacturing inefficiencies.

That's my point, it's so inefficient that it's the perfect excuse for strip mining vast areas in order to get the coal needed to produce it.
