I grew up in coal country. Obama's regulations absolutely killed the coal industry. That, and the coal companies themselves started hiring way fewer people after they started the insane practice of mountaintop removal coal mining. Rather than hire 100 guys, they hire 10 guys and use tons of explosives to blow the top off the mountain and push the rubble over the hillside- burying streams and fucking up the environment. The practice should be outlawed, but it wasn't- it was other regulations from Obama that mostly killed the coal industry.
