“At least it’s not a turbine!” they all yell as they run from their falling down house that is not covered by insurance and the company won’t fix www.theintelligencer.net/news/top-hea...

In no other civilized country would that mine continue to operate.

They had to have armed guards at a public meeting to inform the town they were mining under a dam that the calculations said would demolish the whole town if it went wtov9.com/news/local/c...

1972...Buffalo Creek Flood..ppl died and it destroyed Logan WV...all from this very same kind of thing

My grandfather was a coal miner in WV. Died in his 50s. My grandmother never worked a day in the mines her life. Died a few days after my grandfather. Both died of black lung. Trailer was next to the mines.

It is powerful. It can make you die from black lung disease.

It’s beautiful. It’s like Mother Earth opened up an infected vein.

JFC

“If the mountain next door was blocking your view, watch your property value soar when the trucks are done!”

Beautiful clean coal. Maker of black lung. Maker of mine accidents and early deaths. Beautiful clean coal.🙄🤬

China’s emissions are more than double those of the United States, and though the country’s leaders have previously vowed to cut back on carbon, its reliance on coal poses a significant challenge.

On No! A country with 5x the population has 2x the emissions. Doesn't that make the per-person emissions in China (9.8t) around half that of USA (17.7t)?

I love my cabin next to the oil refinery

What’s wrong with his face? He looks like he’s wearing 1960s Avon

I love that Trump calls them windmills, like we peasants mill our wheat.

He opened his mouth, so you know more lies than usual are about.

Windmills. Famous for their dark, toxic, somewhat radioactive, asthma-inducing clouds spreading across the land, whichever way the wind blows.

His roadkill eating Secretary of Health just cut the team that managed black lung so we are going to boil the planet while we kill poor young men from Appalachia… great

Off topic but WTF is going on with this idiots hair?

He's old enough to remember that during those years, he's calling the golden gilded age, windmills were used to pump water out of the ground to keep families alive. He really is an idiot.

What is this "coal" they speak of?

Also, really valuable properties downwind of the coal-fired power plant.

I can’t believe we did this…AGAIN!!

and abandoned mines in New Jersey causing all sorts of problems right now on I-80

I'd rather have a windmill than these 2 piece of shit used trailer houses the guy dragged onto the property next to my house

Sounds awful. First a firing range next door - and now this? 😵‍💫

(It always warms my heart that you are the first one to respond to something I have said every morning❤️)

Good to have a friend in these massively fucked up times. 🍷

😘

THANK YOU! Seriously! What in the fuck have I done to The Universe?

Coal? Thats going back in time, didnt we learn something from that. Wasnt it stopped 4 s reason?

"We have Liquid Gold under our feet."

They need to put a coal fired plant upwind of his fucking golf courses if he loves coal so much. #smokeoutturnburry

You also can't breathe in China. That'll be fun. This lunacy is as good to hear for the country as the fact that he's allowing chopping down 50% of old growth forests in the National Parks.

That coal dust is gold, baby, gold

Now, a house next door to a coal burning power plant, that's got curb appeal!

🤣🤣🤣

The world is looking at this ignorant, dementia afflicted old motherf***** and laughing their asses off! Who can blame them!

Exactly how stupid is this motherfucker?

Not stupid. EVIL !

Gramps wants to go for a ride in the country.

Even back in the day when coal was booming-WV was one of the poorest states!

Not for the owners of the mines. They took terrible advantage of the poverty.

Yup! Most of the wealth went out of the state!

Not the coal companies. They all made bank on the backs of the worker/slaves.

And all its politicians who make sure it stays that way.

Even if coal did come back in any type of way, same thing would happen as back in the day.

whats w/ the platinum hair all the sudden?

At least when a farmer leases some of their land to a wind farm, they get revenue. Living next to a strip mine earns ya nothin'.

Just fucking shoot me.

Idiot

WV is legit the most underdeveloped version of Colorado that exists because of coal. Strike mine what's left in Ohio no one will care.

Crackhead..

Comes with a cool soundtrack to use at rallies!

And coal-fueled power plants.

In Trump's america cancer is seen as a status symbol because only the ultra wealthy can afford the treatments and survive

Many counties in Southern WV coal country and among the poorest in the country.

is it just me or is trumpov getting more silver-y and orange by the day? holy cow

I have never seen anything as beautiful as this

Let’s see how much the coal lobbyists donated to him or bought a 💩watch or one of the gold cards.

Setting clean energy back a few decades because he didn’t like to see windmills from his golf course.

And consigning our children to a desolate world without wildlife. Terrifying consequences down the line.

It's always a grudge.

I’ve heard that’s the real problem with Gaza. All the windmills.

Yeah but I love that Scotland hosed him about it

Babe, wake up. New vacation paradise just dropped.

It's the Lumon factory. Mmmm smell the ether.

It's good when you breathe, you can taste the cancer.

Don't worry China is already making great headway and is now poised to dominate the clean energy market.

He’s all “Drill baby! Drill!” But not if I can see a rig from MAL.

His theories about wind energy are as fucked as his economic ideas. Wharton ought to be stripped of its higher education accreditation for giving this dipshit a degree.

Gramps not the most educated / informed… 🤦‍♀️

Right.. it’s not like there’s a massive coal lobby that was behind this. It’s just from the recesses of his broken brain.

Yep. Let’s make black lung great again

Why is he still alive?

For sale by owner: 4BR/2BA, one tailings pond

He really does want to take us back to the 1890s

He never forgets an injury, even from the mean Scottish windmills. If only he could sue them.

Coal stinks

I know it's a little thing to pick on when there's so much more about the slug to pick on, but... All these years... he STILL doesn't know the difference between a windmill and a turbine? The stupid drips off of him like Rudy's hair tonic.

And around acid-stressed lakes.

Yeah but no windmills so🤷‍♀️

What color is that face? Windmills ! ?

I look forward to the day when I no longer see this ugly mofo in the headlines.

I concur

He was always stupid but dementia has taken away his ability to mask it. He still tries to cover with bluster but he wouldn’t be able to manage his own finances in the real world. His kids would have power of attorney so he couldn’t marry his nurse and disinherit them. Yet he controls the nukes.

I had a windmill on my land when I lived in California. Got paid 25k a year and my house got multiple offers in 2 days when I put it up for sale in 2005.

That would blow his mind.

Don't you know? That flammable tap water is trendy right now.

Bring back the coal mines! The American people can’t wait!

What an idgit that guy is - literally the stupidest person on the planet!

In other News, Trump vows to bring back: - Telegraph Services - Film Photography Processing Labs - Switchboard Operators - Video Rental Stores - Typewriter manufacturing

Daguerreotype, film is woke

Now fielding investment offers!

DVD players!! Mimeographs!!

Niiiice, keep it going 😅

8 track tapes! The bubonic plague! The hole in the ozone layer! Leeching!

Leeching - that got a belly laugh 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

What no phone booths…

Oh that's a good one 😂

His hair with the orange face is lovely!!

The moron is so full of shit….

learn the /s tag?

If people don’t get sarcasm I’m not going to hold their hand.

Yes, I get that. It takes some knowledge of the speaker, the facts, and the context to get sarcasm and many say that tagging it is just wrong. We know you.

Remember when Donvict Krasnov said windmills cause cancer?

I LIKE that name. Good one.

Definitely gonna steal that one. You can only use “Failed Yam Casserole” and “Mango Mussolini” so many times.

He’s full tilt bozo.

What’s even more ironic is on some old strip mine that have been closed for years and “reclaimed” the land gets leased to windmills

Yep look at every town around a coal mine its riddled with crime drug addiction, dirty water uneducated people but they got a big truck and five four wheelers if they don’t get stolen. As much as he brags about you’d think places around coal mines would be booming progressive cities not shanty towns

Not just the towns around the mines, it’s a domino effect.

Oh I know WV is my home

Try selling the coal to China!

People aren't exactly fighting over the opportunity to live beside the coal ash pits here near the power plant.

The level of stupid is insane

Everyone wants apartments with smokestack views, especially downwind of them.

I know I sure do. Whooppee beautiful clean coal.

And let me tell you about the joys of acid mine damage coming out of those strip mines.

Yes Donnie obviously people don’t need clean air

Joe Manchin is rolling over in his house boat.

Chris Hayes thing the last few days is that Trump doesn’t want to take us back to the 30s, he wants to take us back to the 1890s.

Thats the fun part, mountain top removal is still more expensive than strip-mining hence America's coalmining industry has been shifting westwards for decades.

If this silly son of a bitch had ever worked a 12 hour shift in a coal mine, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic about it.

step outside your door into the morning sun and take a deep breath of sulfur coal smoke

He does realize China is one of the worst countries when it comes to air pollution?

He does know that coal is a finite resource?

Beautiful clean coal. 🤬

The man needs an intervention.

That’s great but is anyone buying coal?

I thought living close to a liquor store was bad.

Coal ash= curb appeal

The very notion that a billionaire, any billionaire, would give even the tiniest shit about everyday folk is downright preposterous.

Can you explain this so the people in the hills can understand it? People been lied to so long they can't hear the truth. It's so fucking sad!

We’re explaining it within the community, but it needs to reach the masses while the media is discussing the tariffs. Not everyone knows enough about economics, but understands higher prices, because we spend money.

This old man He played coal He played knick knack on my home

Being a coal miners daughter, I can tell you that the coal fields of southern WV are looong gone. What hasn't been run down has been devastated by the recent floods.. they don't even have homes now. You have to drive 30 mins to get groceries, gas, clothing. Hes lying to them ..again!

"And we have lots of children eager to get under ground and get the coal. They love coal, they love it in their stockings at Christmas. That's a tradition, right? They love it... Nat King Coal. Remember him? DEI singer. Chest nuts roasting on an open fire. That won't keep you warm like coal... "
