Make America Great Again

“This is the best news that Appalachia as a whole has had in about 10 years,” said Jason Bostic, a vice president at the West Virginia Coal Association, referring to Trump’s infrastructure agenda. “Suddenly there’s a little bit of hope here.”
quote:
Corsa Coal, a producer of met coal based in Pennsylvania, was already encouraged by the China-driven price spike before Trump’s victory. Now it believes U.S. politics are going its way too. “The thing that has got me the most excited is the potential for infrastructure spending,” said George Dethlefsen, Corsa’s chief executive. “All those things are very energy—and steel-intensive, and that’s good for our business.”

He can take the regulatory handcuffs off but creating a market will be much more difficult

I wish he could but I believe Obama and his goons killed a job generating industry or at the very least inflicted major damage.

Trump told WV coal miners to get their shovels ready. For what--shoveling shite?
He can break a lot of his campaign promises, like imprisoning Clinton, but to go back on people he promised work to would make him ... just another politician.

Not as long as they keep finding more natural gas.

Or as long as solar keeps improving.

Has to roll back Boiler Mact restrictions from 2012 or so.

The US has very few steel plants that are fired with natural gas.

Hell no. Only someone stupid enough to vote for Trump would think he could do anything about the market putting downward pressure on the price of coal. It has nothing to do with regulations (fake Republican buzzword) and more to do with increased competition from renewables and natural gas.

A few miners were called back to work just before the election.
