Look at the faces of the miners behind him. They KNOW, there is no such thing as “clean” coal! They also know, what coal is left is expensive to mine and is the dirtiest of it all! They KNOW, he’s full of shit!
screw making solar panels in a nice clean factory - give me work that breaks my back, is claustrophobia on steroids, the risk of being buried alive, and smelling like a burning tire after work every day!
Didn't these folks all vote for Felon 47? I'm almost sure they did, at least a majority of them. I certainly hope they are happy with their choice now. And I hope the wives of these future coal miners take out life insurance on their sons and hubbys now before it's too late, if they even can.
Thank you for sharing this -- and for writing it. We're badly in need of a collective "squid to the face" ( a perfect term!)...and more good teachers, like the one you seem to have had.
Thanks, Dave. My teachers - every single one of them at my super-rural, public school were fantastic. Amazing what those underpaid public servants did while having a department of education with federal oversight, isn't it?
And my own mom was one of 'em, go figure.
I remember when my neighbors still had a coal furnace that they used to heat their house, our yard was always soot covered!
There is no such thing as clean coal when you are burning it!
There may be less dirty burning coal, but definitely not "beautiful clean" coal!
Somerset,MA. The plant was dismantled years ago.Dirtiest coal plant at the top of Narragansett bay. Word is underwater cables will eventually transmit power from offshore wind power to where the power plant was and utilize existing power lines to feed into the grid. This asshole is going backwards
1. He can't force the coal plants to produce. They need to buy into their markets and they're just not competitive.
2. He isn't helping them at all. They can make more money on just capacity payments and generating during peak load during the summer.
Maybe if you applied a tremendous amount of heat and pressure, well then you’d have a clean diamond, but then Trump would have the most beautiful diamonds on earth.
as I recall, in Tudor England approx 550 years ago, someone proposed burning coal instead of wood, and was roundly pilloried by all because of all the filth burning coal would have caused
... the Pea Soupers of the 40s/50s that led to Clean Air Acts.
Essentially winter weather delivered a temperature inversion, trapping emissions from industrial or domestic coal fires, especially sulfur dioxide, which wind and weather could not dissipate.

He’s going to kill us all.

Trump can lower mileage standards for autos, but that won't make consumers go back to buying gas guzzlers.

Working backwards towards Victorian London...
Workhouses will be next.
