We already have the coal states in November. Ohio and Pennsylvania?
Other ‘mining’ states for things other than coal?
Colorado coal production slips to 20-year low
Coal is big in eastern Ohio, and those counties went for Trump during the primary season. They are a traditional democrat enclave.
The union bosses have been party stooges for the democrats and not really advocates for their union members’ best interests.
I hope those bosses get canned this time around.
I’m curious of my state of PA as well.
During the run up to 08, there were commercials all over the airways warning coal miners (with obama’s own words about destroying the industry) and they went ahead anyway and voted the way the union told them to. Will it be a part II now that they have suffered for 7+ years?
Wyoming is a very large coal state.
When I rode the Pony Express Trail in 2001, there were coal trains coming out of Wyoming every 30 minutes.....
3 or 4 engines & 120 cars full of coal. EVERY 30 minutes. All night long. All day long.
I could count them quite accurately from the back of a horse at about 7 MPH.
