This morning on the news in the background while I was making breakfast was some guy from some small pissant town where 85% of the people voted for Trump. This was a coal town, and they really believe that coal is going to come roaring back to life. No one wants coal any more - All of us have moved away from it.
The United States is the world's second largest producer of coal (behind China), but coal use is shrinking by 7% per year since 2012. It's not coming back.
These people just want to believe.
