Hillary Clinton promises to put U.S. miners out of work......

Whether or not Trump can bring back steel -- affirmative promises being difficult to keep -- Hillary's promises to wreck coal are concerning, because it's easy to destroy things. Just look at Douchebag Donald in the primaries: He destroyed conservatism, decency, the GOP, and all hope for a better America.

Coal was already wrecked.

Over the last five years, shale gas has flooded into the US market, providing an alternative that was both cleaner, and helped energy companies get in line with incoming or anticipated legislation on emissions.

The company sought other markets. But last year China, the biggest user of coal in the world, began to cut its consumption—in part because of its economic slowdown, and in part because of its own climate goals.

US firms are by no means alone in seeing their coal companies struggle.

The UK closed its last working coal mine in December 2015. Subject to heavy environmental constraints, most of its remaining coal plants must close by 2020 or convert—as the massive Drax plant is doing—to burn something other than coal.

Eastern Europe has held out as a bastion of coal-burning on the continent, but this week the dire state of its industry was also revealed. Talks have taken place in the Czech Republic and Romania on how to prop up the loss-making mines, or help them through the process of shutting down.

Better people than Trump have said it's insane to think he can bring back steel. Read and learn.

"Industry experts say the notion of bringing Pittsburgh back to its post-World War II heyday, with large mills supplying tens of thousands of jobs, isn't going to happen. By 1982, 133,000 steel workers in the area had been laid off. By January 1983, the job losses in the steel industry contributed to a 17.1 percent unemployment rate in the Pittsburgh area. Some steel production could increase under the right circumstances, experts say. But the number of jobs that could be brought back wouldn't be "yuge."

"He's pandering, he doesn't really mean it," said Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, a trade group founded by domestic manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union. "I don't think he has a plan."

It's true, experts say, that some jobs could come back to Pittsburgh if certain actions were taken. Further tariffs on the cheap Chinese steel flooding the market could make domestic steel more competitive. If the price of oil went back up above $60 a barrel, that could spur coal exploration in Pennsylvania and increase the need for steel pipe and tubes, and thus jobs, Paul said. Also, idle capacity at existing plants might be filled.

At most though, under the right conditions, that might only mean a few thousand jobs, said Frank Giarratani, a University of Pittsburgh professor of economics and steel industry expert. But the most likely scenario, however, is that there would be less chance of people getting fired from the jobs they already have. Existing plants are currently fending off the dual threats of a weak dollar and subsidized imports.

"There will not be any new plants coming to the state of Pennsylvania," said Giarratani. "That's just insane."

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to request for comment for this story.

You are correct, for as long as it is allowed to have 8 year old girls slave in Chinese factories for a wonton a week. Why are you punishing these little girls, over bringing up the American economy?

Mommy says my grade is above yours. :)

China hastens outdated coal-fired power capacity elimination.

Let's focus on your guy - who I assume you think is winning.

Why is Trump promising he'll bring back the US steel industry?

Let's focus on who you will be voting for in the Presidential race. Who is it? Do you have the guts to tell us? Failure to provide a name is proof that you're a gutless coward.

I looked it up and found nothing like that.

Wonder why he hasn't mentioned all the American companies that look the other way when children from other countries make their products.

Nike, Hanes, Victoria's Secret, Philip Morris, Hershey and Firestone, to name a few.
