Coal in North America is a dead industry.

Trump signing some document is not going to turn back the calendar too the 1950s.

Coal is dead.

Mining-oil-for-energy will be dead in ten years, natural gas in twenty.

The uninformed luddites can  make all the pronouncements they want, the clean energy train is on the track and pulling out of the station.

More people are now employed in producing solar energy than are employed in coal, oil and gas.

Employment in solar is growing twelve times as fast as the US economy as a whole.

The fastest growing profession in the US? - wind turbine technician.

Get on board or become irrelevant.
