Back in April, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced that they were doing unique research that holds the possibility of developing new uses for coal in electronics, perhaps in conjunction solar panel and battery technology.
It's hard to say how soon, if ever, the potential breakthroughs in understanding and harnessing coal's unique chemistry can become a reality. But the research certainly seems promising, and there's every reason to pursue it.
Democrats can take advantage of this effort. Massachusetts is essentially a Democratic state. Right now, the Governor of West Virginia is a Democrat, as is the state's senior Senator. That sounds like a potential political alliance, and possibly productive cooperation among Massachusetts and West Virginia academic institutions.
Tom Steyer, looking to improve the environment, encourage progressive politics, and help working people who've lost their jobs in the coal fields? Here's an investment for you.
Democrats, want bragging rights without having to deal with Donald Trump? Here's a model for the kinds of practical alliances and progressive local projects that can thrive despite a loss of federal support.
