Looks like President Trump wants to waive the unpatriotic worthless environmental regulations from Barack Obama and let the states decide how they want to regulate.
So you wouldn't mind having 1000s of coal miners losing their jobs?
Just drove through WV on this great empty Highway 48. No traffic and no business. To get there I went through Germania on the border of WV and Maryland.
Looked like a 3rd world village.
I am pretty sure they have already lost those jobs. The amount of strip mining going on does not require as many employees as underground work. They need to be educated so people can fix the equipment taking all those 1,000's of jobs.

Obama's war on coal was devastating to many places such as this. Gonna take time to rebuild but with Trump it's happening.
There's are reasons that the Democrat party was reduced to a state of powerlessness not seen for 100 years under Obama's policies. This is one of them.

10's of thousands already did. 1000? Drop in the bucket.
Nothing much going on in coal. The cheap coal...cleaner too..requires a couple giant shovels to get it from the ground.
I lived in WV in the 1970s and coal was already dead. I also worked (my ancestors were miners) in Coal Country PA. All dead decades ago.
I'm sure you can find a lump here and there...but, numbers matter. Also, income matters. Much of the coal now is controlled by giant brokers - many Asian.
Here are the coal jobs....on a chart. Whether we have 45K or 65K means little or nothing....when companies like Apple are responsible for 2 MILLION higher paying jobs: https://www.apple.com/job-creation/
One company! Why be obsessed with cutting off the top of mountains and messing up our air, water and land.....when there are much better things we all could be doing?
Only one reason. Brainwashing.
Looks like Raygun destroyed the most in recent history......
I lived in WV in the early 70's and it was all over then. You'd really be reaching to say it's coming back. It's not. We have no need for it.
