Right about the time the dumb city slickers stop using cheap electricity to keep the sick and the elderly alive.The coal industry is dead.
More dead than the steel mills.
When will the dumb hillbillies figure out that it's over?
Who'd want to work in a sewage treatment plant? Such a rubbish job.Her statement:
“We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” was taken a bit out of context, but let's be clear, the Dimocrat party wants to completely kill the coal industry, so no matter how much Hillary squirms and tries to and take back these words, in the end we all know that voting for Dimocrats is voting for the death of this industry.
Hillary Clinton Confronted By Coal Miner Over Statement That "We’re Going to Put a Lot of Coal Miners" Out of Business
During a round table in West Virginia, a recently unemployed coal worker confronted Hillary Clinton over her remark at a CNN town hall in March that “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” In response, Clinton admitted her comment was a “misstatement.”
“How you could say you are going to put a lot of coal miners out of jobs and then come in here and tell us how you’re going to be our friend?” the man, Bo Copley, asked during the round table Monday.
“I don’t know how to explain it other than what I said was totally out of context for what I meant because I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time,” the former secretary of state said in reply. “It was a misstatement because what I was saying is the way things are going now, they will continue to lose jobs. It didn’t mean that we were going to do it. What I said is that is going to happen unless we take action to help and prevent it.”
“Now I can’t take it back, and I certainly can’t get people who, for political reasons or personal reasons, very painful reasons, are upset with me,” she continued. “What I want you to know is I’m going to do everything I can to help, no matter what happens politically.”
Hillary Clinton, who's campaigning in Appalachia this week, was confronted Monday by an out-of-work coal miner. At a roundtable discussion in West Virginia, Bo Copley asked Clinton, "How you can say you're going to put a lot of coal miners out of jobs and then come in here and tell us how you're going to be our friend. Because those people out there don't see you as a friend."Fact Check: Hillary Clinton And Coal Jobs
Clinton apologized for her word choice at a CNN Town Hall back in March. She insists she wants to help coal country through a difficult economic transition.
Let's break it down.
THE CLAIM:
Hillary Clinton is going to "put a lot of coal miners out of jobs."
THE QUESTION:
Did Clinton really say that? What gives?
THE SHORT ANSWER:
Clinton did tell a town hall audience in Columbus, Ohio in March that "we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." But that was part of a longer answer about the need to help blue-collar workers adjust. "We're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people," Clinton said. "Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now we've got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don't want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on."
THE LONG ANSWER:
A lot of coal miners and coal companies are going out of business. This is partly the result of Obama Administration policies designed to combat climate change, by shifting power-production away from carbon-intensive coal. It's also the result of the fracking boom, which has led to a sharp drop in the price of natural gas. Together, these forces have put coal at a competitive disadvantage when it comes to turning on our lights and powering our factories. A decade and a half ago, more than half the electricity in the U.S. was produced by burning coal. Today that's shrunk to less than a third, and coal continues to lose market share to natural gas and renewable sources of power.
Dozens of U.S. coal companies have filed for bankruptcy protection, including Arch Coal, the parent company of the mine where Bo Copley worked. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has put the Obama Administration's power plant rules on hold temporarily, many utilities continue to shift away from coal for both economic and environmental reasons. Coal mining employment dropped below 75,000 in 2014, with Appalachian mines seeing the steepest declines.
Hillary Clinton suggests those jobs are not coming back. "The way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs," she said Monday. Rather than reversing Obama's climate agenda, as Republicans have promised to do, Clinton wants to help coal country adapt. The $30 billion plan she released last fall calls for increased job training, small-business development, and infrastructure investment, especially in Appalachia. The plan also seeks to safeguard miners' healthcare and pensions. "I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time," Clinton said this week.

So, you can't admit you missed the sarcasm?Are you related to Sheldon on the show the Big Bang....because he does not recognize sarcasm either...[
Impossible. We must kill coal before coal kills Mother Earth and we all die a slow agonizing death....plus we need lots of government involvement so that it can make lots of money for itself it's cronies.
Don't you get it?
Mother Earth?
My god you are a nutcase. I bet you believe this AGW scam bullshit, don't you?
Earth is ball of molten rock with a thin crust, thin atmosphere and a little water. There is no "mother" to it. Most of the time the earth has been existence it would have been unable to sustain humans.
Eight billion humans (soon to be ten billion) are polluting the earth just fine with or without coal.
Coal is a good source of energy. At least it works, unlike that environment wacko bullshit of wind and solar power.
That works both ways.
On the contrary, we don't eliminate coal because we don't want to pay a lot more for electricity.The left sure has some issues with the working men and women.
Or we just realize that certain jobs vanish when there is no longer a need for them.
The thing is, we could completely eliminate coal as an energy source if we wanted to. We don't because no one wants to upset the coal miners. No one wants more coal plants and the ones that still exist are being replaced.
Coal is suitable for use as a bridge fuel, and exports too for that matter, so long as the world relies on coal as a source for energy. Beyond that, they haven't much in the way of a future.
Endless bullshit wars abroad and oppression here at home is what repubs are selling their electorate now a days. For the rest of us that's a no sale everytime

Then you didn't see it. She was caught red handed, 600 emails unanswered. Put the guys out there and didn't do jack for them. When the 3am call came in she hit the snooze alarm. Your cartoon shows didn't cover it?oh wait, uhm, i mispoke, uh, thats not what i meant. yah, why is it that every time Hillary is caught in a lie, she later has to explain herself,,,like with the Benghazi Videos!I watched that exchange and that witch LIED right to his face. she did say that. And that is the person that party want's you people to put in as our President. shameful nasty woman
Now you're lying. Even the Republican-led been Ghazi investigation found no wrongdoing.
Dude, you just said the regulation didn't affect the business. Then you came back and stated what amounts to "but the coal business is evil and needs to be regulated out of existence".
Typical regressive double talk. You were caught being completely clueless and full of shit. DEAL. WITH. IT.
Horsehit. The disadvantages to wind-power, for example, are astronomical, not to mention the damage they do to our environment. Solar is another fucking joke. Fuck Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House in the 1970s and that industry hasn't advanced much since. Don't be a fucking idiot all your life. Do some research, imbecile.

Much of your electricity usage is generated by coal.

Where did I say anything about Wind or Solar?
That's because of what the global elites have done to the electorate.
You didn't dipshit
Didn't my words "for example" clue you the fuck in?
On the contrary, we don't eliminate coal because we don't want to pay a lot more for electricity.
