    A "Yellow Card" in soccer is declared by the referee when there is a dangerous action by a player. Two yellow cards equals a "Red Card" and the player is rejected from the game (with no replacement). @tochatihu is saying that the commentor is making a serious error in judgement.

    I need a pastel yellow card option for not-so-serious situations.

    "The offer from the Navajo Transitional Energy Co. (NTEC) equates to one-tenth of a penny per ton ..."

    "At the last successful government lease sale in the region, a subsidiary of Peabody Energy paid $793 million, or $1.10 per ton ..."

    Quoting from:
    Biggest US coal sale in a decade sees Navajo company offer | AP News

    That previous lease sale was in 2012, representing 3 orders of magnitude reduction in price. One could scarcely disagree with calling coal cheap. If one can ignore externalities.
