There's no such thing as "clean coal", its an alternative fact.
The government cannot force private companies to buy US goods without a separate contract.
Without regulations, there won't even be a milksop given to public health and safety.
If the "free market" worked, why is Trump putting his fat thumb on the scale and tipping it away from renewable fuels, the fastest growth industry?
The car makers are not making more cars because of anything Trump said, that decision, like all his similar claims, was made months ago.
