Clean energy jobs outnumber fossil fuel jobs in most US states

Indeed! Cheap energy fuels economic growth!
(Just about) everyone wants that!

 

Yes, he "loves the poorly educated".
They will suffer even more in the future. Jobs to repair or program robots will not be available to Trump Chumps who are undereducated, and DeVos, who wants education based on only 1 book, will not help.

 

They prefer to sit in Ohio or West Virginia on welfare and vote for Trump who's going to end up cutting welfare

 

Clinton is an idiot she lost and is irrelevant. There is a reason why one of the coal companies in West Virginia is building a massive solar farm using unemployed coal miners. There is a reason unemployed coal miners are learning coding.

 

Your own comment made Hillary relevant, because you claimed that WV coal miners were clueless wrt Trump. Their choice was simple: if they weren't clueless to Trump - as you say - would they have voted for Hillary instead?

Only they didn't.

And your point wrt coal miners clearly contradicts itself. We all know that coal is a fossil fuel that will hopefully be replaced in the near future with something far more efficient.

The point is: so does any coal miner on the planet. They, obviously, have avenues to transition to other disciplines, and their company is even providing such a transition, because - as you said - the CEO himself understands what the future holds.

The coal miners, however, also understand something that you do not: you cannot and should not embargo the coal industry; force upon it impossible standards to continue to operate; make it incredibly expensive to operate (as leftists have) merely because you want the future to arrive today; merely because you distrust the Oil, Gas and Coal industries.

You cannot simply penalize those industries - and the workers therein - because you want credit for ushering in a "New Age".

The same insipid ideology has forced upon auto manufacturers impossible CAFE standards; standards which do nothing to increase the desire of companies to provide the most efficient and best products possible regardless; standards which only increase the costs of their goods while innovation continues at the pace that human ingenuity allows it to continue.

We - and they, the coal miners - didn't need Hillary threatening to shut down coal mines. They'll shut down when they're ready to shut down.

Just like the Pony Express shut down. It didn't take a Government Mandate to do that either.

 

If those CAFE standards were "impossible" explain why there are vehicles on the road today that can meet and even exceed those standards by significant margins?
