Wrong on all three counts...1) Coal jobs are not coming back. Automation and mining technologies have outpaced the old fashioned idea of an elevator crowded with miners descending into a deep,shaft mine. You might as well worry about whaler's jobs in New Bedford.You are a liar!
There is no such thing as clean coal. If you ever find any, you might have something to talk about.
The new coal fired plants have near zero particulate emissions. Your ilk just want to kill an industry that allows people to be self sufficient and in no need of government intrusion.
2) "Clean coal" is a marketing term for something that just does not exist. I know it refers to technology to mitigate the vast amounts of pollution from burning coal. But power plants, HERE IN COAL COUNTRY, are closing due to the cost of retrofitting plants with scrubbers. I have seen power plants (at Shippingport, PA, Stratton, Ohio and down river in Beilliant, Ohio close down while natural gas plants open up.
3) Coal is expensive. Expensive to mine, expensive to,process, expensive to remediate. Natural gas is cheaper, easier to transport and abundant.
You obviously dont live or work in mining. All you have are left wing talking points and not one of them is true..
How many coal mining jobs has Trump brought back?
