1. I thought Trump saved clean coal and all the clean coal jobs and the clean coal mines.

What is that you say he failed? We should have an treasonous terroristic insurrection. Oh yea they did that.

In Pa we have 3000 miles of streams polluted with coal mine acid. The streams dead and the rocks and bottoms are bright orange. 3000 miles! Guess who pays to clean up this huge mess. Not the coal mines owners.

What is even sicker is that our republican controlled state legislature is allowing the frackers to do the same thing to our ground water.
When a natural gas well is played out it is plugged. The plug will last around 100 years. There are no plans for who will monitor or pay for replacement of the plugs. When the plug fails the ground water is destroyed. A big fat FU to future generations.
Natural gas is the fall back energy position electric generation because it is CHEAPER than coal. Really this is volume of polluter ground water is cheaper. Well I guess it is because the frackers will be long gone when the pollution starts.
