Very little energy comes from coal now. When will the right help coal workers get clean energy jobs? Or tearing any jobs in other industries?

Instead, the "president" of the US is working to go be jobs to foreigners?

Why?

Why do Americans support a president who hires illegals and foreign workers and wants congress to pass a bill to make that a formal position of the US?

Actually that is an untrue statement....clean coal is being used all over the world with great results. Because of leftest policies we here in America are behind the curve...don't be lied to. Coal is needed just like crude gas wind and nuke.

Where? Where is clean coal being used, and be specific.

Here they have them listed;
These are just the largest, not all of them worldwide.
Not sure how many are clean. I know that all of Europe's is clean coal like most of ours is.
Shutting down the coal mines for four years will take some time to get back up and running here again, but exporting will start up rather quickly.

Thanks, but the question was about CLEAN COAL, which even the leaders of the coal industry say doesn't exist.

Sane, rational people don't use 19th century fuels anymore.

Wind power is 3000 years old, numskull.

Electricity is 3,000 years old? Why not thirty thousand? Or thirty billion?

Pay attention, numskull. I said "WIND POWER" is 3000 years old, I said 3000 years old because that is how old it is. Coal can also be used to make electricity. So does that make it modern in your eyes?

Just admit that you're playing word games that don't mean diddly shit in the real world.

Patti is special, reality and his pea brain doesn't seem to mesh real well ... 3000 years ago people were using wind to learn how to make bowls.

Sane, rational people don't use 19th century fuels anymore.

In that case we should ignore the UN when it says that for a country to get ahead economically, it must burn fossil fuels. Here is the richest man in the world telling you that you are wrong.

"On the one hand, a large proportion of India’s citizens is very poor, with many millions of families living hand-to-mouth on subsistence farming. Better access to cheap energy from coal could bring significant gains in standards of living, education, health, and life expectancy.
And who’s the rich world, that’s done all this emission, to say ‘Oh no India, don’t electrify,’ because right now their direct path would be to take coal and burn a lot of coal,” says Gates. In general, his belief is that “the very poor countries should be unconstrained.” He adds that “if they can figure out how to get power with coal or natural gas, they should go ahead because they are so poor and they have not emitted any of the greenhouse gases that are up there."

^ Our coal, sold dirt cheap to the Pacific Rim, while preventing us from using it. That was the UN/Obama/Clinton plan. It is no longer the plan. Selling our resource at a competitive price is the plan now. The industry will pick up.
Sane rational people absolutely use 19 century fuels. I held out for as long as I could before leasing my gas and oil to Chesapeake Oil Co. < 1/3 of which is owned by China btw.
And here is an ignorant Democrat not knowing the difference:

Another way the Sultans of Self-Righteousness screw the Third World is by banning the ivory trade.

China is weaning itself off coal because it pollutes and it's filthy.

And the GOP see those as "good reasons" for supporting more coal in this country.

The Worst Man-Made Disasters in China


Though China has a historical legacy of natural disasters, including earthquakes, torrential rain, and flooding, industrial China has also been increasingly affected by industrial accidents like the industrial explosions that occurred in Tianjin in August 2015. Such man-made disasters in China are all too common.

Often, these incidents are aggressively classified as "natural disasters" by government officials who want to minimize international focus on China's need for environmental and institutional reform. In other cases, industrial tragedies are blamed on worker negligence, when they are, in fact, the result of systematically lax safety regulations and substandard equipment.

What are some of the worst disasters in the history of China? Some of the most deadly industrial accidents in history have occurred in China during the last century. What's really troubling about these Chinese disasters is just often theyelves. Flooding, mudslides, and deadly underground mining explosions, for example, have become such common occurrences in China that they sometimes fail to receive international attention.

Massive pollution, industrial disasters, and environmental catastrophes are all devastating problems. Too often, these incidents are not "accidents" or "natural disasters" at all - they're tragically avoidable man-made disasters. These industrial and environmental disasters in China

1. Guiyu's E-Waste Graveyard

   Date: Current/ongoing Location: Guiyu, China Deaths: Unknown Probably the largest site in the world for "e-waste" (un-recycled electronic components) is located in Guiyu. The accumulation of these materials has become such a devastating problem that the entire area has been transformed into a wasteland of dismantled circuitboards and bricked iPhones. Over 80% of the world's discarded electronics end up in Guiyu. Residents suffer from an increased rate of miscarriages, and over 88% of children in the region suffer from lead poisoning.
   
   
   • Tianjin Chemical Explosion

     Date: August 12, 2015 Location: Tianjin, China Deaths: 114+ (approximately) Insufficient safety procedures and oversight have been blamed for a chemical warehouse explosion in Tianjin in August of 2015. At least 114 people were killed in the massive blast and ensuing fires, with another 700 injured and thousands more homeless. Toxic fumes unleashed by the explosion also posed a potentially even greater threat to the surrounding area. Chinese President Xi Jinping acknowledged that the accident reminded Chinese industry of the need for increased workplace safety, describing this and similar disasters as "lessons paid for with blood."
   • Dehui Poultry Factory Fire
     
     Photo: Xinhua/Wang Hao Fei/via wordpress
     Date: June 3, 2013 Location: Dehui, China Deaths: 120 (approximately) At least 120 workers were killed and roughly 54 others were injured when an explosion went off inside the Baoyuanfeng Poultry Plant in the summer of 2013. Poor safety training and flagrantly unsafe working conditions inside the factory worsened the situation, with many workers collapsing in front of exits that had been locked from the outside to keep them from leaving during the workday. An inadequate number of fire escapes was also cited as a contributing factor.
   
   
   • Yangtze River Pollution
     
     Photo: ADRENALINEJUNKY -JASON HENDRICKS/via Youtube
     Date: September 7, 2012 Location: Chongqing, China Deaths: Unknown On September 7, 2012, residents of Chongqing awoke to discover that the city's Yangtze River had turned vibrantly red overnight. Turns out this wasn't the first time such a thing had occurred in the region: the Jian River in Luoyang had changed color similarly a few months earlier, thanks to a nearby chemical plant illegally dumping toxic dyes into the water. The Yangtze has become one of China's most corrupted rivers, with nearly a 75% increase in pollution over the past 50 years. These dramatic rises in water pollution have resulted in rampant E. Coli infections and up to 50% higher rates of infectious diseases like hepatitis and dysentery.
   • Yellow River Oil Spill
     
     Photo: Greenpeace/via greenpeace.org
     Date: December 30, 2009 Location: Shanxi, China Deaths: Unknown Over 40,000 gallons of diesel oil leaked into the Wei river starting in December 2009. Attempts to contain the spill were unsuccessful, and it eventually reached a tributary of Shanxi's Yellow River, which supplies drinking water for millions of people. Initially, reports denied the incident had occurred at all. A deputy director of the Yellow River Water Resources Commission called for an investigation, contradicting claims that the accident was caused by worker negligence.
   • Shanxi Mudslide
     
     Photo: via china.org.cn
     Date: September 8, 2008 Location: Linfen, Shanxi Province, China Deaths: 250 - 280 (approximately) Due to sloppy enforcement of government safety regulations, an unlicensed landfill mine in Shanxi Province collapsed in 2008, killing at least 250 people and injuring 33, with as many as 500 individuals officially listed as missing or unidentified. In addition to on-site workers, the mudslide affected the adjacent village of Yunhe - its crowded outdoor marketplace was completely destroyed. The Shanxi mudslide also resulted in the displacement of over 1,000 citizens.
   • Weiqiao Aluminum Company Explosion
     
     Photo: via blogspot
     Date: August 19, 2007 Location: Zouping County, Shandong Province, China Deaths: 14 A total of 14 workers were killed and 59 more were injured when a molten aluminum container exploded at the Weiqiao aluminum plant in Shandong in 2007. Local safety representatives claimed this was the result of a faulty heat liner that should have been replaced, blaming the workers for the accident. National safety officials, however, blamed lax safety regulations, as well as fundamental flaws in the container's design and construction.
   • Xintai Mine Flood
     
     Photo: via picaboom
     Date: August 17, 2007 Location: Xintai, Shandong, China Deaths: 181 (approximately) Just two days prior to the Weiqiao explosion, two mine shafts in Xintai were flooded after heavy rains caused a levee to burst. Following a long rescue effort, between 172 and 181 miners were declared lost or drowned. Though there were many dissenting opinions, some officials were vocal in suggesting that the accident was not merely a natural disaster. One official described the tragedy as "completely avoidable."

Donald Trump promised to revive the coal industry; however, things have gone the opposite way:

Kentucky coal jobs and production continued down in the second quarter of the year, illustrating the unlikely prospect of a quick turnaround for the industry despite President Donald Trump’s campaign promises to put miners back to work.

Coal mines across the state cut employment by a total of 200 jobs from April 1 through June 30 compared to the first quarter of 2017, or 3 percent, according to a report released Wednesday by the state Energy and Environment Cabinet.

Kentucky coal employment, production declined in last three months

His advice now for poor people is if you can't find meaningful work where you live you may have to move.

That's for people who live in ghettos or Appalachia. I think it's real honest advice
