The word you're looking for is ironic, not paradox.

"Liverpool slavery museum hires fully paid employees" do you see how silly that sounds?

If you like, I can go there and install a coal-fired steam generator...

Next they'll let Christians into the Anne Frank museum
shimmernshine
axiomatic
Because the taxpayer pays for it.
marcusosappus
Exactly! There are tax incentives for installing solar panels. Not ironic at all.
0xFADE
It would be a paradox if it was a coal plant installing solar panels. This is something else.

In other news, the local horse racing track has a parking lot.

"Coal comes from nature, sun's rays come from nature so it all works out to be a positive thing."

Steel yourselves for the puns about Iron.

256 years of coal reserves, just in the USA and that's discovered already.

I don't even see one duck, let alone a pair of ducks!

In other news, employees at the railroad museum drive cars to work.
IrwinFireson
Ironic, perhaps. Not a paradox though
pragmatao
Neither, actually.

As a Kentuckian, we have a coal museum?

FAKE NEWS! - President of the United States, probably
MadcapSpook
Yay somebody managed to make it political, and about Trump and about a dead meme! Mmm, I love such pure cancer.
eroso
Eh, coal is a political topic right now. So was this the reason why that news was even written.
bakezzz
this is UB north campus pic. it actally is fake news
MisterOp
it's not like they're burning the artifacts for fuel
Jupman
Checkmate Athesis.
YesMyNameIsCalvin
They're trying to cut down on their carbon footprint.
smprov
you can't burn museum artifacts
RedDwarfIV
ISIS will try anyway
WHOLEMILK
They should burn tires for power generation.
CreakyLadder
Guess the old steam engines couldn't cut it any more. Good thing Donald is here to save them.
SuicidalPlantpot
Good old Donald saving the world from the lack of global warming
RedBeardAndRedJeep
You realize even nuclear power is just a steam engine turning a turbine right?
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
What next, the Whaling Museum using electric lights?
Counterfit
They probably have been since they opened.

Whale oil beef hooked.
Possiblynotentirelysane
If you live in the Dishonored'verse.... yes?
chase7436
Well, if a bunch of people, including the president, were pushing whale oil as an energy source and promising to bring whaling jobs back,(1)
chase7436
(2)it would be ironic. People who love whale oil enough to open a museum about it won't use it- that'd be telling about the industry.
TreeSlippity
Irony, anyone?
TheSmitty17
A paradox is a specific form of irony and I'm damn fun at parties thank you
TreeSlippity
I have a feeling we would get along famously.
holyjesusmybackhurts
Its a coal museum not an iron museum, dumbass.

Ha ha. But Photovoltaic Solar panels like those are neither clean nor renewable.

aND WINDMILLS USE OUR FINITE AMOUNT OF WIND111!!!!
Morg729
I'd say we could use wind power but then we'd use up all the wind
calipur
Use up all the breathable air.
MrShoez
Plus if it blows the opposite direction it will drain the power.
KinetoPlay
1/2 I know the joke. You can't use up the wind, but you actually can slow a d alter it enough to change the environment.
KinetoPlay
2/2 There's a lot of planning that goes into placing a wind farm.
TheSmitty17
Instructions unclear. Set my house on fire and built a windmill
Kellhus0Anasurimbor
Windmill somehow powered by sun instead of wind
BeerBatteredandBold
Solar windmill is used to pump oil to a refinery
Kellhus0Anasurimbor
Oil spill causes house fire, cycle begins anew

Most museums preserve archaic things.
kieranlieberg101
Hence the name: "Fossil" fuels
bakezzz
This is a picture of UB north campus...
flapperfemmefatale
Yeah but if you visit the web site, it is obvious they care more about promotion than preservation.
TheSmitty17
At this point, I'd rather be a slave to solar than oil or coal
flapperfemmefatale
Same. But the irony comes from them promoting coal while not using it themselves. It'd be like the cafe at the vegan museum serving steak
TheSmitty17

They're a very thankful individual.

DID YOU JUST ASSUME THEIR GENDER???

The joke doesn't work out when they say individual, but imma upvote you anyways
SanSilv
Mean, coal is still the most energy dense fuel source we know off seconded to nuclear power. For industrial uses its fucking great for
SanSilv
energy production. With stuff like gas and other fossil fuels being only half of efficient compared to coal. It isn't archaic, because the
SanSilv
only pound per pound effective way to replace coal is nuclear power, which is stonewalled all the time because of like, 3 major problems.
SanSilv
Of which, two were human related and the other was because the Soviet Union hates safety.
WhyShouldILoveYou
I went to check this out and seems that's not even close to truth. Only wood is worse. http://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Energy_density
SanSilv
I just looked my numbers up and saw that it my numbers were like, Joules per liter or something gay like that. Cool.
Hilaritybomber
"you are fake news"
SanSilv
nice meme bud.
jonestown
This is the museum of clean coal, CLEAN coal. Really clean coal. Repeat after me.
CallMeRif
Can you explain?
jonestown
President Trump is trying to resurrect the "clean coal" industry.
CallMeRif
How is coal supposed to be clean??
naivepuppy

KinetoPlay
The science behind it is, say clean a lot. Hoe no one ever checks.
DickMercenary
That's the mindfuckery. It isn't. It's slightly less filthy coal at best.
BondHaimBond
yet we still pursue these archaic things as necessities for our survival.
TheRevolutionist
KY residents tend to prefer coal, since it has a large portion of jobs.
