Our supply line is being destroyed thanks to bad decisions and moving production offshore.
Any word on breitbart?

Our factories produce as much product today as any other time in history. They just require fewer humans to do the same work because of efficiencies gained by automation.

How can you call people klansmen? Stupid way of trying to defend yourself. You know the KKK is basically dead and there are no KKK people out here like you want to call us. Do you know how ignorant that is, to just call people KKK because you have nothing else? hahahahahaaaaOriginally posted by hughracist9 View PostI'll take being a snowflake over a klan clone lmao
I love how the left is supposed to be tolerant at all times
I'm serious though, you have issues with your warped opinions and attitude. You're a sick sick man!!!

Sad you choose to learn your facts from propaganda.Originally posted by mcarter815 View PostFactory jobs are being replaced by robots who can do the same job cheaper. Coal mining is no longer a cost effective energy source. Those jobs are going away thanks to technological progress.
10 reasons why coal is a good energy source:
Cheapest source of energy. It is by far cheaper than nuclear, natural gas, oil. Hydro usually will be slightly cheaper. However, problems with hydro include: no new facilities because of public outcry when river valleys are dammed; and, peak demand time problems (rivers running dry in the dead of summer when peak air conditioning is needed and rivers are frozen in the dead of winter when peak heating is needed).
Coal also provides a stable source of energy (no Arab oil embargoes, no sudden scarcity like you experience with natural gas) and there is a very plentiful supply both in the U.S. and in other foreign countries.
Coal is nothing more than ancient wood which has been under pressure for millions of years. It is not sinister as you may have been led to believe.
Coal provides many jobs. Unlike other forms of energy (nuclear, natural gas, oil, hydroelectric), coal provides many jobs in removing coal from the earth, transporting it to the utility, burning it, and properly disposing of coal ash.
Coal is American made. We do not have to import this product into this country.
Coal can be mined and burned with little environmental impact. There has been tremendous strides in environmental responsibility with mining coal and burning coal. However, there still is pressure of global warming. If we burn less fossil fuels, what, as a practical matter, is our energy alternative? Nuclear? Hydro? Solar (there is no practical way to provide the massive amounts of electricity needed to run our country through solar energy---it is viewed as impractical at this time)?
Coal mining reclamation can give the surface landowner many more options for developing his land. In the mountainous terrain, a mining process call mountaintop removal can create very valuable and useable level land for the surface owner. The surface owner not only gets his land developed, he usually is paid 50 cents a ton for the inconvenience of the use of his surface. Surface mining cannot occur without the specific consent of the surface owner. If the surface owner is lucky enough to own the coal rights, he's looking at another $2.00 a ton for royalty payments. In 1977 the federal Surface Mining Law was passed that required coal operators to reclaim the land in an equal, if not better, condition that existed prior to mining. We're doing an excellent job with our reclamation efforts. I would suggest that you go to http://www.osmre.gov/. This is the web site of the federal agency that oversees coal mining from an environmental standpoint.
The prudent us of coal will allow the U. S. the time needed to develop viable alternative energy sources---primarily solar technology and fuel from grain---without any negative impact on our national economy.
Coal provides 56% of the electricity used in the nation each day. It provides 95% of Kentucky's electricity. Electrical rates in Kentucky are the second lowest in the nation---because of coal.
Coal is good for Kentucky's economy. The Kentucky coal industry brought $3.1 billion into Kentucky from out-of-state during Fiscal Year 1996-97 through coal sales to customers in 29 other states and 15 foreign countries. In Kentucky, it paid over $800 million in direct wages, directly employing over 19,000 persons and indirectly providing an additional 60,000 jobs. In addition to all the normal business taxes, the coal industry in Kentucky paid an additional $160 million in severance taxes to the state.Last edited by Clayton_Wetter; 10-04-2017, 05:59 PM.

You certainly are on. It's a bet. $20? Or better yet you take a one way to the Communist nation of your choice.Originally posted by mjimmycarter815 View PostI bet this factual article came straight from the coal industry.
These are facts, so you can't/won't accept them? You're standing on the wrong side of facts and truth, but I see you are not going to realize or admit it.
What if it was though. You will accuse them of lying since you have squat evidence of it.Last edited by Clayton_Wetter; 10-04-2017, 07:37 PM.

So the Lexington liberal rag puts out this padded story in 2016 while Obummer is actually assaulting the coal industry. Well I got news for you, that ended when that Commie left the white house. Coal is actually coming back in Kentucky.Originally posted by mcarter815 View Posthttp://www.kentucky.com/news/state/article93017917.html Coal jobs in Kentucky have been dropping rapidly as coal gets replaced by alternative energy sources.

You left out, still rising. Nice try. Obamas climate change bullsh1t is gone. Maybe you missed that executive order. Maybe you missed the billions we are saving NOW because of the failed climate fraud to lower the degree a little over one degree.
