    Cool Coal Keeps Winning! 4 West Mine (Greene County, PA) Closing - 370 Jobs

    Another coal mine in Pennsylvania is closing, despite the efforts of pro-coal President Donald Trump.

    Though Trump has slashed environmental regulations, market forces are hurting coal’s chance for a revival.


    The closure of the 4 West Mine in Greene County will cost 370 miners jobs, as StateImpact Pennsylvania recently reported.

    Hear about the impact the closing will have on the miners and what the outlook for the coal industry with reporter Reid Frazier:

    Trump doesn't know anything and can't bother to learn.

    That's devastating in an area where those are likely the only decent jobs. If Trump really cares about these workers (HAHAHAHAHAHHAA), he'd be promoting some sort of relocation and retraining program for them.

    With cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient alternatives, coal never had a chance to come back. I am sure the miners will remember trumps promises and his failure to accomplish anything.

    Nice to see you liberals are rejoicing my state loosing it's industry and jobs. Hell, you want to see the government supporting everyone, right? Put everyone out of a job so they have to vote Dem to sustain themselves. Quite the strategy you have.
    The thing that sucks about the whole damn situation it is the fact that these people who've lost their jobs would much prefer to support themselves. Isn't the fact that losing your pride because you've lost the means to support your family humiliating enough? Obviously it isn't.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Nobody is rejoicing... Trump lied to the coal miners and tricked them.

    Coal is fading it's that simple. The entire world is scattered with mines and industries and ports that have outlive their usefulness. There are more jobs now in Renewables then in Coal. Time for coal miners to face reality and do something else. The United States is made up of people who left a bad situation seeking a better situation. Get out of coal country and go to where the opportunities are.
