What will West Virginia look like 1 year from now?

[TooTall]

I dont know but Ill tell ya one thing...they will still be putting honest people in prison over a silly little plant.

The only ones put in prison over a silly little plant are those that are illegally selling it. It is a pretty good job dealing since you don't have to get a business license, pay any taxes of any kind and don't require a picture ID from a 12 year old. The is,until you get caught.

My thread has been met with mockery and derision. Fuck you liberals. West Virginia will prosper again and you are hating it.
Coal power!

The coal mines in Oklahoma are doing well...

I am very excited about Donald Trump's election.
If we come back and talk 1 year from now, how changed will West Virginia be 1 year from now, in terms of the economy? I am from WV and are very excited with the prospect of us having prosperity and filling up the mines with coal workers again.
Please predict how much our unemployment rate will decrease.

How many trains and ships are fueled with coal today? How many steel mills are operating in the Rust Belt today? How many coal fired steam plants are still in operation today as compared to 15-75 years ago? How does the cost per BTu for coal compare to that of natural gas for the end user?

Coal has been mined since Roman times when people used horses to move around. Like the Romans and their horses of old, such is the fate of the future of coal as a modern fuel. Time marches on and it's past time that coal miners quit expecting coal to reassert itself as King!

Amen! Coal powered the industrial revolution - but its day is done. Most humans are much smarter now.

The only hope for revival of the coal industry is allowing it to be sold to those countries that still use coal fired plants. It won't happen in the US and Trump is silly if he thinks different.

A Trump Voter...

 

[Grizz]

The Liberals actually wanted to get West Virginians an education and teach them to do new things with better technology. Trump wants to go back to having mindless ants doing 40 years of hard labor, and at that end of the 40 years have nothing to show for it but poor health and no one in government that cares.

If ONLY us po Neanderthals would listen to you well meaning "educated" Libs......you ONLY want what you have decided is best for everyone else.

Knock it off. Morons like you make conservatives look bad.

Try this on, fuck off and die, that about cover it kid?

No.

You'll live.

Good luck, HRC promised training, Trump promised what he cannot do, that being increasing the cost of natural gas above the cost of mining and transporting coal. Do you really believe coal fired plants converted to NG will refit to burn coal?

You meant of course to say "retraining".
They won't have to worry abut anyone coming for their jobs for the next 8 years.

Training or retraining, a distinction without a difference; only the captious feel the need to make such a distinction.

You believe more mines won't close? That's funny, as more and more coal is forsaken by power plants for cheaper & cleaner NG, and more homes and businesses add solar panels and obtain energy from wind power, we can expect less coal to be used in the US.

We might export coal to Asia, but by doing so we risk a return of acid rain to North America.

Not at all, I don't like you. You're arrogant and a hack who has nothing of substance to offer. And a bully, much like Trump - he hides behind his twitter account, and you hide behind your keyboard.

My cousin is a mine engineer in Fairmont, so I'm pulling for ya Brother. We replaced our straight wood furnace with a wood/coal furnace...but that's not likely to help you out too much, we are supplied by Arch Coal St. Louis.

Unless you are advertising that you are breaking the law for passive resistance protesting and thereby courting prison, you aren't honest by definition

No coal jobs will come back and everything at your Wal-Mart will be a little more expensive

You're projecting son, you have your opinions and you simply try and pass them off as "facts", when you get corrected you huff and you puff and declare your self morally and intellectually superior.
I don't care whether you like me or not....and as for substance, when I want to make a point other than opinion I'll bury you with substance.
You may go now.

If liberals cared about education, they wouldn't have spent the last several decades destroying our education system.

Btw it doesn't matter how much education you have if you can't support your family.

What will West Virginia look like 1 year from now? Pretty much the same as it does today. I know that some people believe that the end of the world is coming because we have a different president than they wanted, but the reality is that who is president has no effect on anyone's day to day lives. What do I tell these chicken littles? Relax. The ky is not falling. The sun will still come up tomorrow and your dreadful little existence will still be the exact same dreadful existence it was yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.

West Virginia will remain the same ignorant narrow-minded redneck peckerwood clusterfuck it has always been. Hillary wanted to bring West Virginia out of the Dark Ages. BTW, fuck coal power!

And is it a surprise that they don't back democrats anymore when you treat them with such condescension?

Well now as 'West Virginians' you will of course reject any welfare the government will now try to shove in your pockets to placate you and make you think you got something for being deceived right?

Because coal mining, unlike every other business, does not operate on the supply and demand model, it relies on the 'we need to work so daddy p.o.shit trump please steal other taxpayer's money and give it to us so it 'feels' like we're working.

And then we'll all laaaaugh.

Well, then you have something to strive for. To be smarter like they are.

Btw it doesn't matter how much education you have if you can't support your family.

But at least education makes most people smart enough to know WHY they can't support their families - and then vote accordingly.

When democrats campaign on destroying your industries, then get elected and keep their promises, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened to your jobs

Your arrogance is noted. I'm 69 years old and a punk like you would dare not call me "son" to my face. Your choice of the most dangerous animal in North America is telling, most punks put up a false front.

My opinions are based on empirical evidence, your posts are childish rants punctuated with ad hominems. Of course being a fool you will now accuse me of attacking you personally, showing the learned how ignorant you really are.
