    Some of you people in this comment section are heartless. Clean energy is great but have a heart. Coal mining provides a lot of good jobs for a lot of good people who would give the shirt off their back to someone in need. I can say I fully support coal because it supports a lot of people I know including myself and I’m damn proud of that!

    i love the fact that someone was willing to come out tell the truth and not be influenced by the money they have to go to bars and buy guns, But people who are and have been stewards of the land. Thank you for speaking out, we are not a favored people here

    I'm a retired underground coal miner. Welcome to the club. No president is going to help. None.

    Take some time to look up all the uses of coal. Try building a car or a bridge without coal.

    And that's another thing!!! Stop manufacturing vehicles. If you guys could only see the masses of mall sized lots that have BRAND SPANKING NEW cars/suv/trucks baking in the sun cause no one can afford/ qualify for financing. Why do we need an upgrading model when the old ones haven't be recycled or sold? Oh, not to mention the lunacy of all electric by 27.

    No one truly wants these people to suffer but they need to accept that it's time to move on.

    While on a subjective level i can feel how the change is affecting these people, yet objectivly there is no way around of having to depend less and less on fossile energies. Reasons to get rid of them are overwhelming. Having Trump appeal on a subjectiv and emotional level to get votes from these folks is wrong on so many levels, i just feel bad for those who when they wake up will feel endlessly enraged and disappointed.

    Do a reality check please. It's not good for the environment nor is it sustainable, so stop the crying. Me me me - that's all that you guys talk about. When are you going to realize we can't eat money after we cut down the last tree? Move and get a new job, perhaps in the solar industry!

    The United States has become so reliant on fossil fuels such as coal. I feel bad for the people who work in the coal industry, but climate change is a much bigger issue that's affecting everyone in the world. There needs to be a change to renewable energy now.
