WV is tired of winning

Look at the details of the report. The 11,000 jobs that Darth references in the OP aren't directly coal mining jobs. They're support services jobs that were mostly created from an increase in fracking - "Mining support activities."

There is nothing in here that points to any resurgence of coal mining, or that bodes well for the future. Queen Snowflake is right - the misrepresentation of this report is giving a lot of unemployed workers in that industry false hope.

Again.....the only industries that support the mining of coal are not NATURAL GAS industries, they are by majority, Hydraulic hose, repair and fittings, electrical cable repair and maintenance, hydraulic and diseal mechanics such as Walker, Wayne, Cat...etc, Service pumps and supplies (as deep mines are wet and require the constant pumping of water), and of course your Equipment Sales Companies that sell and lease the required heavy equipment to mine coal either underground or on the surface....then you have the community that depends upon the salaries of the employees, gas stations, grocery stores...and many other retail sales outlets.

No where is there a requirement for NATURAL GAS, fracking, or the drilling for gas required to directly mine coal or indirectly support the coal industry. Thus all those 11000 jobs are there because....the mines are running at a higher capacity than before requiring that support.

What? Did you assume an inactive and downsized mining corporation is going to require 11000 new support jobs....if they don't need the support? Common sense is not so common. :)

This is not BIG BROTHER left wing government action that often has the mule attempting to push the plow....the private industry has a bottom line to consider unlike Big Brother that just prints more funny money in a back asswards attempt to stimulate a careless industry that should have been allowed to fail due to gross greed and mis-management like the big Banks and Wall St. investment firms. Thus.....in the REAL WORLD...those 11000 new jobs..... support or actual mining jobs..... would never exist if there was not a need for them to exist. Businesses in the private sector do not own their own printing presses.

FYI: The salaries of the majority of those SUPPORT CORPORATIONS.....are practically equal to the salaries earned by the average coal miner. Cat pays their mechanics very well often more than can be made in the mining industry because of the trade skills possessed by their mechanics that are all required to be trained in the latest technological advances, more than a basic understanding of the new computer systems that run the majority of the actual machines that mine coal.

Mining is not engaged as it was 75 years ago....with a mule, a pick, a number 10 coal shovel, and a case of TNT.

Coal mining requires a fleet of ancillary workers: welders, electricians, diesel mechanics, heavy machinery operators etc.

And these are all good paying jobs. There may be less actual miners due to mechanization, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of jobs still associated with mining.

I doubt Hillary was even aware of that.

And that is really the whole point right? Good paying jobs. People working. Families being supported. End of story.
 
hey cupcake, goggle "SOLYNDRA" then please move on from the solar panels for everybody fairy tale. lest you want to find private funding, stfu with my money.
The four dollars you contributed to taxes were spent on Trump's Mar a Lago trips, so no need to worry.
When new industries are starting up, many fail, it doesn't mean it is the future of the entire industry. Solar has improved and is catching on in a big way. My friends built a home run by solar, they love it.

Apparently, you have t read anything after Solyndra, solar is starting to take off, and catching in the the mid West, so now we be a good time to get into the act, a green industry for the dying coal state industries.
 
You really buy anything, don't you?

When oil prices go up, fracking increases. Most of the 11,000 jobs were support services jobs - the kinds of jobs that relate to an increase in fracking. Not the jobs Trump promised to bring back.

Yet when Obama claimed to have created jobs, you puckered up to his black ass to no end. Keep kissing it.
 
Your posts are so boring. Obama didn't "claim" it; it was actually measured by the CBO.

When he took credit for it and people like you kissed his black ass when he did, there is no difference. Play semantics if you want to.

Pucker up. It's all you're good at doing. That and being a fucking worthless cunt.
 
Indeed I have spent a great deal of time in the area's where coal is mined...why? WE ARE "MARSHALL" and WVU TECH..

An RN I work with was a Marshall cheerleader who got a minor roll in the movie lol.

She says Matthew McConaughey is weird and smells bad because he hardly ever bathes.
 
Is this supposed to be good news? Great for whomsoever has had the misfortune to have been waiting around for the black lung industry to return, bu t who the hell wants coal to grow? Has Trump promised the return of the iron lung manufacturing business too? What other eradicated societal ills will he succeed in exhuming?
 
This is sad, this is giving the people false hope. This most likely is a very temporary situation.

Yes dear, mines are temporary things. Just an excavation project, really. One I'm most familiar with has been in operation for about 130 years, and is expected to be permanently closed in another 250 or so. Temporary.
 
so you have a giant kid with small manhood, and suddenly coal is bad.

well people in West Virginia and beyond need jobs, so they can raise and feed their normal children. Whom I guess would be mutants if the impact of coal on health was even 10% of your conspiracy theory.

Until you get India and China to stop burning fossil fuels please stfu and let this country get back on track.

Kill yourself

She means the increase in demand is temporary.
 
I doubt you live in coal country so I don't expect you to know much about the industry.
I know it has been much safer in coal country due to regulations that have now been rolled back, unless states enforce them.

Buy stock in bottled water! Water quality will go down. I feel bad for these people.

Now we can await the return of the company store, ahhhh, the good ole days
