    Number of jobs in the coal industry has increased under Trump. That doesn't mean all companies in the industry are going to be profitable and survive.

    But I wouldn't expect you to comprehend that.

    The data also shows how hard Obama hit the coal industry.

    you are the dumbest moron on the forum. NATGAS is cheaper than coal, it is that simple now stop being such a fuck up. You embarrass your parents.

    Context.

    "Look, we have serious economic problems in many parts of our country. And Roland is absolutely right. Instead of dividing people the way Donald Trump does, let's reunite around policies that will bring jobs and opportunities to all these underserved poor communities.

    So for example, I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country. Because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right?

    And we're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people. Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories.

    Now we've got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don't want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on."

    The result was still miners losing their jobs just as the OP stated.

    I agree. It was not the fault of Hillary or Trump.

    Both of you are obviously ignorant of U.S. history. Look up what capitalism did in the 19th century, company towns and all the rest. Look at what motivated the growth of unions and government regulation of business. You won't believe it, of course.
