Unbelievable that the Rat party - Friend of the Working Man! - ever did this.

Thank God for Don Trump.

Coal will lose out to natural gas but at least it will be back in business. I don’t think Obama cared either way on coal or the pipeline.Being black his interests are different than the enviro whacks but he still needed their support even with one foot out the door.

Soros bought a huge chunk of coal mining shares in several companies so C02 wasn't going to be a “problem” much longer anyway.

George Washington Carver said, God, show me the secrets of the peanut. We need a new GWC who prays, God, show me the secrets of coal.

Coal has many uses other than as a bio fuel. Paints, medicine, etc.

No argument here. It's better that it lives or dies in the marketplace rather than via Presidential diktat.
