MSNBC host Chris Hayes told United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts that “in 50 years, no one should have a job mining coal in the world.”
Roberts, who also serves as vice president of the AFL-CIO, pushed back on Hayes’s comments, telling him to “accept science” just as Hayes wants him to “accept science” supporting climate change.
“You know and I know that’s not going to happen,” Roberts said. “Let’s talk about reality: Do you really believe that in your lifetime, you’re a young man, that you’re going to see the day that China stops using coal or even cuts back on using? No, you’re going to be 85 years old, heading into 90 years old looking to be on that Smuckers jar, and China is going to be burning more coal than they are right now, and India is going to be burning huge amounts of coal.”

Hayes is a brilliant young man and its people like him who are the hope of our planet and of those who live miserable lives digging coal. But giving more money to the ultra-wealthy is more important to the right than a life of dignity and health for the poor. And, its certainly more important than the planet we are leaving to our children.

 

[Mr Natural]

Who in their right mind would actually want a job mining coal?

Not Stephanie That's for sure.

But those people actually work for a living. Stephanie just sits in her trailer all day, scarfing down her government cheese..

Can you envision your own miserable life without coal or other hydrocarbons?

 

[blastoff]

Barry has accused Republicans of favoring dirty air and water for all of us, but doing away with coal burning tosses a big monkey wrench into our planning.

Who in their right mind would actually want a job mining coal?

Coal mining is a very high paying job in some States where high wages simply don't exist otherwise. The person that wants a job mining coal is a high school graduate that can make $70,000 to $80,000 a year working in the mines. Take that job away and what's he going to do...work at McDonalds for $8 an hour?

 

[Oldstyle]

How about this...instead of banning our most plentiful source of energy...why don't we work on ways to burn it in a cleaner manner?

Or do you want to see your electric bills double? Choice is yours, Kiddies...

Not true, of course.

In FACT, if you're talking about a coal miner, its not even close.

Let's keep a closed mind to any possible technological advances, shall we?

After all, its the United States and we can't actually accomplish anything.

If there is coal mining, it will be done with machines not people, people will be operating the machines from a distance.
Just like to drones in Afghanistan.

I based my $70,000 to $80,000 figure on a statement that Rand Paul made last night and stand corrected. The figure would actually be closer to $50,000. That doesn't change my point however, Luddly! What OTHER occupation is a high school graduate in Kentucky or West Virginia going to do that is going to bring in $50,000 a year? That's a huge amount of money in that region of the country and if you take that away you ARE going to subject thousands of people who would normally be gainfully employed to unemployment and economic destitution.

Let's keep an open mind to any possible technological advances that would allow us to burn coal...an abundant resource of the US...and keep out energy costs at a rate that Americans can afford!

I wonder if chris also envisions a world where corporations are banned,no one works.
Government provides for all our needs.Leaving all of us free to frolick in the forests,free to write poetry to engage in love with both sexes without shame or fear of retribution.

In other words....

Liberal Utopia.

Why should industrialist be allowed to pollute the air and water so that China and India get coal? We have companies that have blown up hundreds of mountaintops in Appalachia so they could get at the coal easier. Time to nationalize the energy resources and say coal for America only and nothing for export.

We have companies that have blown up hundreds of mountaintops in Appalachia so they could get at the coal easier and use fewer mine employees at the same time. Time to nationalize the energy resources and say coal for America only and nothing for export.

hey OP- ALMOST as bad as Obama telling them he wants to bankrupt them.

Chris is right. We will have alternative fuels no matter how much the Right fights them.
