Have any facts supporting your inference it's leftists preventing anyone digging/exporting coal or just another baseless allegation?
You mean other than hundreds of speeches? Including several from Obama and Clinton both talking about shutting down the coal industry? Do you just not pay attention for 3 1/2 years or are you purposely trying to deflect again?

Last I heard talk doesn't prevent anyone conducting their own business. Something change?

More than 1/2 the electricity in the US used to be produced by coal, now it's less than 1/3, much of that reduction due to the increased use of natural gas. How does that prevent a coal company from mining/exporting coal?
It takes like 5 minutes to find an article on and it and yeah if someone doesn't know the Democrats and their satellite political party called the EPA have been destroying the coal industry... they've been living in a cave.

Doesn't matter Australia is still exporting tons of it and there is still a use for it. We have the largest reserves and the Democrats would rather kill good paying jobs and GDP for the country. Coal is also used in steel production and since Slick Willy killed those jobs too we don't make our own steel.
South Africa is building coal powered plants right now. The Democrats are a complete failure on this issue.
If I was Trump I would have hit Hillary hard on this subject every debate.
lol very informative post. The global commodities market is this : The USA is competing with one hand tied behind it's back..also known as, Democrats in power.
Miners in Australia make 100k USD a year or more. So the US is clearly dropping the ball somewhere out of shear stupidity.
I don't think that version of mining is really used anymore.
You'd be wrong. What they do is called "Mountaintop Removal," and it is destroying the beauty and ecological integrity of our nation, as well as virtually enslaving the poor people of Appalachia.

Are you really willing to sacrifice the health of our land and these people for money?
Mountaintop removal should be illegal. It permanently scars the landscape. Some of the formerly prettiest parts of West Virginia are eyesores because of this practice.
