It's your liberal bias that has you convinced that coal is such a dirty resource. There are coal powered generating plants all over, and the air is clean, there is no soot. I'd prefer to live by a coal plant than LA smog or NYC filth.

Both Obama and Clinton had the goal to shut down all coal. I never was a fan of eastern coal because I know that western coal is more economical and burns cleaner, but I strongly protest Obama's endless regulations which sacrifice American industry, resources, and jobs. Obama saw nothing wrong with the whole state of WV on welfare, food stamps, and opioid addicts. Trump does, and for that I really appreciate his leadership.

And I like the way his new tax plan penalizes high priced blue states! Praise God!
