In addition to dismantling Environmental Protection Agency and Judiciary Dozens of regulations The amount of coal factories is allowed to be pumped into air and waterways, and opens Trump’s public lands for further mining and stopping the planned closure of coal plants that cannot be defensedly.
“One of the things I learned about coal miners, this is what they want to do,” Trump said, while mocking the idea of training miners to perform technical jobs. “You can give them Pentagus on the fifth avenue in a different type of function, and they will be unhappy. They want a mine. Coal. This is what they like to do.”
Given that the White House Claim These luxury flyers for fossil fuel industry aim to help meet energy requirements for artificial intelligence data centers, and Trump’s waiver of coal workers who are moving to technology function is laughing.
Trump released the announcement in White HouseHe was “surrounded by more than one of the workers of miners wearing solid hats,” according to the Washington Post. It represents a good part of Coal miners workers It remains in West Virginia at this stage.
Coal mining is one of the most difficult and healthy functions in the world. Pulmonary poisoning ratesOr “black lung disease”, increased again due to the efforts made by the Trump administration’s first to permit workers protection in this industry.
But Western Virginia still loves to vote for Trump – although he loves it They spit in their faces every time. The tariff plans and its commercial war with China threaten to kill the remaining coal industry, and Western Virginia farmers are now victims From Trump and the so -called illegal austerity measures to the Ministry of Government.
