Trump has eliminated $86 Billon in rules and regulations

[BULLDOG]

The significantly lower cost of natural gas had nothing to do with coal sales reducing?

What part of TECHNOLOGY do you not understand?

The commodities market reducing the cost of natural gas is technology?

The technology that makes natural gas easier and cheaper to obtain. Duh...

Yep, and automation will make mining coal much more profitable with very few workers. How many of those miners that lost their jobs do you think they can crowd around an automation control board? 75%, 50%, 2%? More importantly, how many more workers will they hire back beyond the number that is required to man those control boards?

It doesn't matter silly girl. Under your hero obummer there would be NO jobs in the coal sector. Under the trumpster there will be. You wailing like a fool won't change that fact one iota.

Like I said, celebrate quickly. His promise of all those coal jobs returning just isn't going to happen. Owners of the coal companies have already said that.

President Trump has saved taxpayers more than $86 billion in regulatory costs during his first three months in the White House, according to a new study from a conservative group.

The American Action Forum (AAF) points to several Obama-era regulations that Trump has either rolled back on his own or with the help of Republican lawmakers using the Congressional Review Act (CRA).

Study: Trump has eliminated $86B in regs

Remember the whole point of Obama et.al. was to make the costs of doing business so prohibitive the businesses would go bankrupt.
Remember these comments?
Obama wanted to bankrupt 1,400 companies, that pay $100 billion a year in taxes and unemploy 450,000 people that work for these companies! (Obama told us he favored a "single payer health system... so what happens to the above?)
" if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.” (Pretty easy way of increasing unemployment.)
"I prefer higher gas prices". (And Obama signed 40% fewer Federal oil lease exploration then Bush).
Trump will never tell a foreign country such as "Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer"!
"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." (That certainly puts a dent in the pocketbook..._
Trump will never tour the world tearing America and Americans down as Obama did his first year... just so he could travel!

Trump like most of us understand that the more the government attaches rules and regulations the more
costs to the company,especially smaller companies which put these smaller companies at a disadvantage.

One recent survey, released just in time for Donald J. Trump's inauguration, dropped this eye-popping number: at least $12,000 a year.
And you don't even want to know what a start-up spends on regulations in its first year.
However, I'll tell you anyway — a whopping $83,019.
These figures come from the first-ever Small Business Regulations Survey, conducted by the National Small Business Association, which of course makes it its business to reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses. Among other conclusions, the survey found that 44 percent of businesses spend at least 40 hours a year dealing with federal regulations, and 29 percent spend at least that much on state and local rules. Three-quarters of business owners say that they have spent time reading proposed rules at least once, and of these, not quite two-thirds discover that more than half the time, the rules they've read wouldn't apply to them. About 40 percent of respondents claim that they have held off making a new investment because of a regulation at some point in the past.

Twenty-two percent of the business owners found the Obamacare's regulations somewhat burdensome, and 43 percent found it very burdensome. Yet the overwhelming majority of the respondents — 82 percent of them — have 20 or fewer employees. And if a business owner needs to know one thing about the Affordable Care Act, it's this: if you have fewer than 50 employees, the Affordable Care Act does not apply to you, at all.

You are both wrong. The DOE funded fracking research in the 1970's with their Eastern Gas Shale Program. Mitchel used that research, and others, to do his work around Fort Worth.

I agree with you that commodities brokers are the scum of the earth. Of that there is no doubt. But the natural gas boom was due to private companies investing hundreds of millions of dollars to do the research and development to bring the technology to maturity. The DOE invested around 140 million into the technology as well.

Yes, for now, gas and oil are here to stay. coal will be around for a while too, but gas is much cheaper, and the numbers of employees won't be anywhere near what it once was, or the amount Trump promised.

• In 2015, the productivity capacity of U.S. coal mines decreased for the fourth year in a row to 1,165 MMst, a decline of 6.3% from the 2014 levels.
• The average number of employees at U.S. coal mines decreased 12.0% to 65,971 employees, the lowest on record since EIA began collecting data in 1978.
• U.S. coal consumption of 798 MMst in 2015 was 13.1% lower from the 2014 levels. The electric power sector consumed about 92.5% of the total U.S. coal consumption in 2014.
• Average sales price of coal from U.S. mines was $31.83 per short ton in 2015, 8.6% lower than the prior year.

US wind power jobs hit record, up 20 percent in 2016
‘Wind rush’ fuels hiring boom, delivers more consumer savings
April 12, 2016

DENVER, April 12, 2016 — American wind power supported a record 88,000 jobs at the start of 2016—an increase of 20 percent in a year—according to the U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report, Year Ending 2015, released today by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). Strong job growth coincided with wind ranking number one as America’s leading source of new generating capacity last year, outpacing solar and natural gas.

National Solar Jobs Census

The Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2016 is the seventh annual update on current employment, trends, and projected growth in the U.S. solar industry. The Solar Jobs Census 2016 found that solar employment increased by over 51,000 workers, a 25 percent increase over 2015. Overall, the Solar Jobs Census found there were 260,077 solar workers in 2016. Solar industry employment has nearly tripled since the first National Solar Jobs Census was released in 2010.
