That Trump was somehow going to make coal thrive again. Thankfully, technology has forced coal to become obsolete. Regulation had some impacts, but it was minimal compared to the effect of cheap natural gas and strides made in alternatives. Coal is not coming back and it shouldn't come back. These idiots buy into the notion that coal is the greatest thing in the planet, despite the greedy companies taking advantage of them along with killing their grandfathers. I guess anyone will do anything when they're desperate to make a buck.
