The West’s largest coal-fired power plant is closing. Not even Trump can save it.

Meanwhile, the party currently in control of everything allowed the coal miners pensions to expire.

Heartless bastards want to make America poor again.

pissing in the wind.

cheap natural gas and renewable energy are killing coal. ditching a few regs won't change the trend.

Loss of labor kills urban jobs, tough shit... Move or get an education so you can get a job that's relevant in today's workplace.

Loss of relevance kills coal jobs... WE MUST SAVE THE COAL INDUSTRY SO THESE PEOPLE CAN WORK

... but Repugs have to maintain their notoriety as killers of regulations, even if it's just bogus, grand standing pro forma

Coal and other mining poisoning waterways? why not? Profit over humans and nature.

wind is the biggest coal killer, with solar providing only 1% of US electricity.

nuclear, another dirty energy source, is growing.

and small reactors are progressing, but it takes many years
