First New Coal Mine of Trump Era Opens in Pennsylvania #MAGA

[Coach is Back!]

President Trump lauded the opening of the nation's first new coal mine in recent memory.

Corsa Coal Company will operate the mine in Somerset County, Pa. - outside of Pittsburgh.

Corsa CEO George Dethlefsen said the mine will be a boon to the struggling local economy.

He praised Trump's easing of regulations and encouragement for fossil fuel exploration.

Dethlefsen told Leland Vittert that for the 70 positions available in the mine, 400 people applied.

"It's a hard day's work every day, but it's worth it," one miner said.

Vittert said the news contrasts with Hillary Clinton's message that she would "put a lot of coal miners out of work."

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D), who endorsed Clinton, joined the mine company in watching a video message from Trump commemorating the occasion.

Gotta give Trump credit for this and he's followed thru on a campaign promise.

[avxo]

Props to Trump for following thru (although I'm not sure how much he personally had to do with this). But I don't see this will help MAGA.

I'd much prefer getting some new Type III reactors online and making the Yucca Mountain facility operational instead of opening coal mines.

Broad deployment of nuclear, coupled with a serious push more renewables would fundamentally alter the energy landscape in the US and would have tremendous benefits for our economy and our environment. And it would create a lot of much better jobs than "coal miner". It would lead to demand for engineers and scientists, which will lead to better STEM education and result in more Americans having viable, well paying long-term jobs and skills that will remain relevant for decades.

Coal mines will do... what exactly? Let us run more coal peaker plants and teach men to dig holes? But hey, at least we're opening something, right? Next up, a candle factory.

Sounds like you should be applying for a job in Trumps energy department.

Not interested in working under Rick Perry, or for the Federal Government for that matter.

Wow! 70 more people are employed. At this rate we should have most all American's working by 3017. LOL!

You know, bub, I bet those 70 people care very much.

I'll bet they do too

they picked a shitty industry to be in with job prospects only getting worse as the world leaves them behind

maybe they should get re-trained to fix typewriters and VCR's

Keep plugging away in that Rust Belt, Trump.

With those handful of states you effectively break the back of the Democrat Party.

FRIEDENS, Pa. — President Donald Trump hailed the opening Thursday of a new coal mine as proof deregulation is helping bring jobs to the industry, even though plans for the mine’s opening were made well before Trump’s election.

Just Trump taking credit for the sun coming up again. Keep swinging from this bums nuts simpletons.

1. I'm calling total bullshit because if you did you would be able to some how relate and appreciate what these how these people make a living.

2. 'Unlike you"? Seriously? But I suppose there's a reason why do you let people know what you do for a living. I chose how I wanted to make my living........after being in the Industrial and commercial industry for over 20 years.

Straw makes money on the side doing hair and makeup for sweet 16, proms, and weddings.    Also moonlights as a florist

1. As usual, your broken brain has betrayed you again.  Having a bunch of shitty jobs does not make one appreciate shitty jobs.  It makes smart people find a better way to make a living.  Would you suggest to your son that he enter an industry that had peak employment in 1923 has shrunk ever since?  That would be fucking stupid.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_mining_in_the_United_States

2.  Sorry you had to spend over 20 years working shitty HVAC jobs so that you could finally have your own little gym where you make clueless kids do 1 rep box squats.  Living the Dream.

Dear Elitist dumbass. Just to understand, because a job doesn't meet what you think is a good job is immediately dismissed as a "shitty" job? Btw, jackass. Never worked HVAC. Go away pompous ass.  

Also, there you go again attacking what I do now not taking into consideration of what I told you in a previous post about making more in 8-10 weeks than you have in your entire year, the mid-round NFL draft bonuses I received are a nice topper. On that draft DAY probably made more than you did in three of your months. Eat a dick.

If anyone says anything about me stating what I've made, You can eat a dick as well. I was proving a point to our resident socialist, Strawdick.

hey phony "coach"

yes there are in fact shitty jobs.  I no longer deliver furniture or dig ditches (literally)

coal miners probably make decent money but it's a shitty job with no upward mobility

much better off to be a commercial electrician or a plumber or all kinds of other stuff

I have a good friend who makes a very good living selling truckloads of fruits and veg

you seem angry and confused

I don't care whether you personally have or have made a lot of money.  I have a decent amount and have clients who have much more than I do

It doesn't matter to me at all

Not sure why it would matter to you, especially being a christian (obviously you can't take it with you and all other christians are at the party in heaven with jesus)

this is how spin works...

if you know about the story, the mine was being worked on and set up well before trump became president. i forget, but i also think its not mining coal, its mining some other coal like substance that isnt used for power generation. it then opened while he was in office. probably the article from fox should have mentioned that, but hey this is the entertainment industry (yes politics is big business/entertainment). look how serious and reactionary people are like the OP over this stuff. its pretty funny

People are so used to liar polititians, that when one atually does what he claim he would do, it's mind boggling news.
