Coal Baron Promises Huge Layoffs, Then Tells Workers To Vote Trump

Why not shut down all coal-fired electric plants right now?

After all, they serve mostly urban areas that are rife with liberals who can make their own power for the 'puters by rubbing each other together.

Sure there'd be some misery; some pain and some might die. Now can somebody see a downside in any of that?

Good idea,a typical big city lib look down on the people that grow their food basically what's needed to survive,cut that off and it wouldn't take long for total pandemonium.

Coal isn't food...

I'm still looking for a downside to any size liberal die off.

Except Obama promised to kill the coal industry in 2008. Fact.

Obama said the coal industry is dying. There is a difference.

I understand that the RW is now blaming Obama for the decline in the horse carriage industry.

Just not having to listen to their whines would be a plus

Yes, it needs put out of its misery - for the sake of the planet. The coal industry was dying before Obama came into office. Coal is killing itself, with a little help from cheap natural gas and renewables.

I've forgotten more about the coal industry than you'll ever know. All you do is spew crap you find on left loon sites

Well, Lassie, I'm 69 and was born and raised in heavy coal country. You are hilarious...

Trading in coal, specifically Patriot Coal (PCX) bought our home....you're an idiot.

How many miners died for your home? Do you think of them often...as you enjoy the home they paid for?

Miserable fuck good grief Tonto ,whats freaking wrong with you?

Look! Here’s a distraction!

Problem is, coal mining jobs aren’t coming back — even under President Trump.

Robert Murray, owner of the country’s largest private coal company, wasted no time pointing the finger when he announced plans earlier this week to lay off as many as 4,400 workers, or 80 percent of his workforce.

His St. Clairsville, Ohio-based Murray Energy Corporation needed to downsize “due to the ongoing destruction of the United States coal industry by President Barack Obama, and his supporters, and the increased utilization of natural gas to generate electricity,” he said.

“Frankly, I am frightened for you, my employees, and the survival of your jobs and family livelihoods,” Murray said in a speech to workers, according to The Wall Street Journal. Their only hope for their jobs, the 75-year-old said, lies in electing “friends of coal” like Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

That’s not true, of course — not least because the pink slips are set to go out in September, and the election won’t be held until November. But even a President Trump — whose seemingly half-baked plan to save coal would likely only boost its chief rival, natural gas — can’t stop the calamitous decline of the industry. For that, coal only really has itself to blame.

It’s predictably easy for Big Coal and its cohorts to obfuscate facts. The very idea that wealthy coal executives represent miners’ best interests ignores a long history ofviolence and abuse against workers who risked their lives to extract a fuel that helped usher in unprecedented economic growth, often for meager wages.

The coal industry has been in decline for decades. In 2007, coal still produced 50 percent of the electricity used in the U.S. Nine years later, that number stands at 33 percent.

Coal miners actually fared slightly better under Obama than they did under his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush.

Will Trump supporters actually swallow such lies? Probably. Coal is killing coal - not president Obama.

That's coal employment, not coal usage. As the following graph shows, usage has remained fairly constant and will continue to remain fairly constant:

Best swing trade holding I ever owned, my grandfather and I made huge sums on trading that golden goose. You're clueless about trading also....is there anything you know?

How is Patriot doing now...?

Obungles killed it, along with Murray, Consol, Peabody, Alpha Omega, James River and about a dozen more. Thousand of jobs....gone

Gee, who's going to pay all those black lung disability benefits?

You're still an idiot and once again started a thread you've been shellacked on, you'll never learn...know why? You're fucking stupid

Since you and your family supposedly made sooo much money off the backs of sick miners - maybe you should send them some of that money back to help pay their disability benefits. Just a thought...

This isn't 1900 safety is much betyet

Trading in coal, specifically Patriot Coal (PCX) bought our home....you're an idiot.

How many miners died for your home?

LOL Sloping Brow is scrambling to save his now failed thread. It won't work Slopes, I invest in companies I don't get emotional while doing it....it's all about the $$$$

Oh, did you also invest in Trump University?

Nope I invest in energy..it's been very very good to me. Now the game is nasty oil and clean natural gas. When one door closes another opens.

lol. classic internet posing. She claims she's a knowledgeable energy investor but didn't know that natural gas is killing coal.

How many time are you going to repeat yourself? Natural gas is putting more pressure on the coal industry along with ever stricter reg.The EPS was after coal long long before fracking became usable.
But you know that right?

The coal industry wasn't dying on it's own stupid shit...

We have more coal under Illinois alone then we know what to do with.

So what? It's killing the planet; killing people. The pollution and mountaintop mining are horrendous.

So-called "mountain top" coal mining is really hill top coal mining. It's not killing anyone except the occasional coal miner. If that was a basis fer getting rid of coal, then we should also get rid of construction and crab fishing. Modern coal fired power plants are incredibly clean. I used to live within 5 miles of one. The air was as clean as it is in the Rocky Mountains.

So, all you NaziCons be sure to vote for Trump. He will save the coal industry. Funny...

Trump will repeal all of Obama's oppressive EPA regulations the day he gets into office.

I hope you enjoy sucking on that.

Let's hope it's not too late and Republicans can save coal industry.

Wow I can feel.that liberal compassion, all over a hoax, but hey you believed in that Internet video causing benghazi. Still a fucking moron.

Why not shut down all coal-fired electric plants right now?

After all, they serve mostly urban areas that are rife with liberals who can make their own power for the 'puters by rubbing each other together.

Sure there'd be some misery; some pain and some might die. Now can somebody see a downside in any of that?

Good idea,a typical big city lib look down on the people that grow their food basically what's needed to survive,cut that off and it wouldn't take long for total pandemonium.

Coal isn't food...

Coal provides electricity for refrigeration, which makes our modern food infrastructure possible. Without refrigeration, the cost of food would be multiples of what it is today. So, yes, coal is food. It's especially non-spoiled and pathogen free food.

So coal is the only way to power refrigeration?

It powers 40% of our refrigeration. Furthermore, it's a reliable source of power. Refrigeration isn't much good if it shuts down for an entire day. That's what so-called "renewables" do. Relying on wind power means that all your ice-cream and frozen vegetables will turn into puddles every now and then.

Refrigeration is not "growing food" now, is it?

No, but it's cost efficient and abundant, until the panacea of renewables meets those two criteria, coal should be used
