We have a president in 2018 advertising the coal industry and not talking about the future. How that is appealing to anybody...

Coal miners - and the local, state and national economies that still depend on them.

Coal may be on its way out as a major source of energy, but it is still utilized to generate a significant percentage (+/- 30%) of the electricity we use in this country. It is not dead yet, and probably won't be for a couple more decades, at least.

People in West Virginia just loved it when Hillary told them their jobs were going to be shut down and they would have to get some training or something for another job.

Yes sir. It was a winning remark! /sarc

These RATs sure hate middle America and the fine Americans that keep this country going.

Coal is still the most efficient fuel source in use today. It ain’t goin’ nowhere.
