If there was ever an industry we should be happy to see die, coal mining is it. It ruins the environment and maims and kills the workers. And for what it's worth, there are far more people employed in renewable energy than in the coal industry. It's just crazy.
Alternatives are also now much cheaper for consumers.
The raw stupidity of this administration is breathtaking. Literally in this case.
Trump’s $625 million coal plan may raise utility bills of Americans:
