The Return Of Coal

[Nationalist]

Trump has revitalized the coal industry. Cheaper power...more jobs...prosperity.

Great work Donny. And Lee.

Thank God.

Strange - I just googled and every Graph seems to show capacity continues to decline.

Not so strange. You cite a 2023 article during Brandon's assault on fossil fuels.

Just think Mike...the end of the climate fear campaign is here. Isn't that great?

One less thing to fuel the culture war you hate so much.

Good work, Trump! 

Next I can assume we'll get more arsenic in the food supply and more lead in the water. -- If those manufacturers give him a trophy, that is.

Oops you're right.  I misread the date.  I'll look again.

 this coal industry portal.... Seems to say it is up but expected to decline in 2026.

It's the filthiest most polluting, least efficient form or energy with the highest occupational hazards s the pay rate there is. A totally ass backwards way of thinking that a mor0n who shits himselfand waddles in it regularly would propose.

Not anymore apparently. 

The change in direction should provide some good prosperity for quite a number of states, and relieve some of the shoetages from increasing demand.

Yes...more windmills and mirrors...that's what we need...

Nobody really wanted reliable electricity anyway...

It's rating is on par with gas, nuclear, wind, solar only bettered by hydro.

Modern coal production is a highly automated, technology-driven industry primarily focused on metallurgical (steelmaking) coal rather than traditional thermal (energy) coal. Driven by massive producers like China, India, and the U.S., production now relies on advanced extraction techniques, GPS-guided earthmovers, and strict environmental reclamation.

And you're completely IGNORANT of the number of people KILLED BY COAL. 🤮

Quote

Coal burning and extraction cause hundreds of thousands of premature deaths globally each year, primarily driven by air pollution. While exact annual numbers fluctuate based on energy demands and regulatory standards, comprehensive environmental health data demonstrates that coal is statistically the deadliest energy source per unit of electricity produced. [1, 2, 3]

The primary causes of death associated with coal can be split into public health impacts and industrial mining hazards: [1]

 

Public Health and Air Pollution

The vast majority of coal-related deaths occur among the general public due to breathing in toxic emissions, particularly fine particulate matter (\(PM_{2.5}\)) and sulfur dioxide (\(SO_{2}\)). These particles penetrate deep into the lungs, causing heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, and chronic respiratory illnesses. [1, 2, 3]

• Global Impact: Research tracks coal as a major driver of the broader millions of annual fossil fuel pollution deaths. Historical estimates indicate that coal pollution alone has been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths annually in heavily coal-reliant nations, including hundreds of thousands in China and over 150,000 annually in India. [1, 2]
• Energy Mortality Rates: According to energy data compiled by Statista, coal is responsible for 24.62 deaths per terawatt-hour (TWh) of electricity generated, and brown coal (lignite) causes 32.72 deaths per TWh. For comparison, solar power accounts for just 0.02 deaths per TWh. [1]
• United States: A landmark study published in Science found that coal-fired power plants caused roughly 460,000 deaths in the U.S. between 1999 and 2020. However, stricter regulations under the Clean Air Act forced plants to install pollution scrubbers or shut down, causing annual U.S. coal pollution deaths to plummet from 55,000 in 1999 down to about 1,600 by 2020. Recent reports from organizations like the Sierra Club estimate that remaining U.S. coal soot pollution causes about 3,800 premature deaths annually. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

 

Mining Occupational Hazards

Coal extraction itself presents immediate and long-term fatal risks to the miners who harvest it. [1, 2]

• Black Lung Disease: Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis (CWP), commonly known as black lung, is a fatal and incurable respiratory disease caused by inhaling coal mine dust. Despite modern safety regulations, the prevalence of black lung has actually increased in places like the American Appalachian region since the 1990s, continuing to claim lives years after miners retire. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Mining Accidents: Direct acute fatalities result from mine collapses, methane gas explosions, and equipment accidents. While data from the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) shows domestic acute mining deaths have dropped drastically (typically fewer than 20–40 per year in recent decades), global figures remain significantly higher, particularly in regions with less stringent structural oversight and enforcement. [1, 2]w renewable energy transitions impact these mortality numbers.

^lDIOT didn't read the EVIDENCE and STUPIDLY INVOKES ABSURD HYPERBOLE.

You're just killing those who PROVIDE YOUR COAL and those who BREATH THE POLLUTION.

But you don't care about anyone but YOURSELF. 🤮
