Coal miners are never going back to work...

The politicians can give all the speeches they want and make promises they can't deliver.

The simple fact is coal's future is dead..

It now cost $50 to produce a megawatt of solar power. Meanwhile it costs $102 to produce that same megawatt burning coal.

All the coal miners living in the past will still be unemployed next year and 10 years from now if they don't get off their asses and learn a new trade.

This is why Trump was trying to place tariffs on solar panels because he like other Republicans would rather waste tax payers money and cause you to pay 2 times as much for electricity than to admit they are wrong.

There will never be a new coal power plant built in the US.
