This is just all kinds of LOL. Trump sure does love those coal miners
quote:
Cohn is one of a handful of Trump administration officials who have pushed the president to stay in the Paris agreement.
Speaking with reporters on Thursday night, he criticized coal as a source of fuel that “doesn’t even make that much sense anymore as a feedstock.”
“Natural gas, which we have become an abundant producer, which we’re going to become a major exporter of, is such a cleaner fuel,” he said then.
“If you think about how solar and how much wind power we’ve created in the United States, we can be a manufacturing powerhouse and still be environmentally friendly.”

He's right, but that coal's not for us, it's for China and India which are building a new coal power plant virtually every day.
We are the saudi kings of coal and natural gas.

Russia must have told him to do it to help out their fledgling coal industry. That sly dog Putin!

So, coal and the wall are circling the drain.
Immigration orders can't get through the courts.
Health care and tax plans are DOA.

For the US sure as we have ample other resources, but for the 3rd world, it's a whole different ballgame.
Take Egypt for example....their natural gas was subsidized by the government. Once that subsidy spigot got turned off, it was back to solid fuels (ie. coal, coke, heavy diesel, etc.).

Cohn's a cuck.

It cracks me up that some yall too stupid to understand that Trump has purposely put people who disagree with him on a variety of issues in positions of power.
For all the talk of how fragile his ego is, this is actually a sign of strength when you can hire talented people who don't agree with your every word, and allow them to speak their mind.
As opposed to, obviously, Obama , where every single person in every single position agreed with the Boss on every single position.
That's weakness folks, when you have to be surrounded by yes men, you are weak.

you just love grasping at straws don't youPosted on 5/26/17 at 2:33 pm to tigerinDC09
You do realize that the USA is the 4th largest coal exporting country, & exporting coal to other countries creates jobs for the coal industry, don't you?
Posted on 5/26/17 at 2:33 pm to tigerinDC09
With the current commodities prices, coal doesn't have a chance. Natural gas is cheap, gas-fired furnaces are a fraction of the cost of solid-fuel fired furnaces, and gas is significantly cleaner burning, requiring much less "back end" pollution controls equipment.
At least in the short term - coal is dead. Trumpy can do nothing about that.

The most important words there. If Trump starts advocating on cutting down on coal, we will talk. Otherwise he is just a wise leader who welcomes differing opinions to make the best decisions.
Clean coal. Really clean coal. That I can tell you.

I would see this as reasonable if Trump himself hadn't Demagogued this position as a candidate.

Then so be it, at least it won't die because of artificial government regulations put in place solely to kill coal.

Well he did get China to purchase more coal from the U.S. just recently. So there's that.
But the WH adviser is correct. Relative to natural gas coal doesn't make that much sense. Natural gas is cheap and abundant.
Thanks to....
wait for it...

FRACKING!
