It's only about 2,000 new jobs in coal mining. But it's not his fault. Coal production has actually gone way up in the past 20 years, due to the technique of mountaintop removal. So the coal companies, rather than hire people to dig underground, they just hire a couple guys to blow up the mountaintop and bulldoze the debris over the side. It's appalling.
