    http://www.corporateknights.com/chan...dies-15027021/

    The Energy Information Administration sees U.S. coal production reaching 780 million tons in 2017. A $15-per-ton subsidy would amount to $11.7 billion annually and would approach $60 billion over five years. So it’s a costly proposition. It’s also being put forth under the flimsiest of rationales.

    He's a Democrat. Democrats love subsidies and taxes.

    Might want to check your facts; he changed FROM Republican TO Democrat. He may say he switched back, but his politics suggest he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

    To improve West Virginia's budget situation, he has proposed raising the state's revenue by $450 million, primarily by increasing the consumer sales tax, reinstituting the business and occupation (B & O) tax, and establishing a "rich man's" tax.[26] He also opposed plans to cut health and education spending.[27] On April 13, 2017, while vetoing a budget bill passed by the Republican-controlled West Virginia Legislature, Justice said the bill was "nothing more than a bunch of political you-know-what" and showed a prop featuring bull feces on a print copy of the bill.[28]

    There has been an increase in coal employment since trump became president. When power generation and steel making quit switching to gas you will have a ball game. https://www.wsaz.com/content/news/WS...422412123.html

    You might want to check YOUR facts.

    In 2015, Justice switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party and announced his candidacy for Governor in the 2016 election. He ran as a Democrat and defeated the Republican nominee, Bill Cole. Less than seven months after taking office, Justice switched back to the Republican Party the day after announcing his plans at a President Trump rally in the state.

    While pacific rim demand for coal will grow the US is simply too far away to deliver at competitive prices.. Oz and S. Africa will supply most coal. http://infohouse.p2ric.org/ref/27/26661.pdf China production of natgas is exploding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_in_China
