  1. Better idea is to figure out how to build some gas fired gen a bit quicker

  3. Serving a particular industry instead of his boss the US.

  5. Is he going to ban fracking? Because that’s about the only way that would ever work. I wish the media were better at filtering out the 100% pure horseshit they flood the zone with.

  6. To late donkey, clean energy has already surpassed coal nationally.

  7. Right off the bat “beautiful clean coal” should be a give away to his batshit idiocy and lying.

  8. This is an insane thing to believe, and it is not happening unless the orange toddler literally forces companies to do it.

  9. Well, there‘s only one small, minor hitch: As soon as it‘s about real money, Reps don‘t give a fuck and go for the bucks! Money talks louder than ideology.

    And money says: coal, you‘re out.

  10. Already coal fire have changed to gas and you would run natural gas drilling out of business in the United States with coal. Let market not Trump donations run the market.

  13. Never ever ever going to happen. Coal is far too expensive.

  14. WTF IS THIS, THE 1800s? Okay grandpa, let’s change your diaper and get you to bed!

  18. Sounds like someone needs a drug test or senility exam.

  19. In my part of the country they have already torn down most of the old dinosaur coal powerplants.

  20. While we’re at it – bring back the horse and buggy!

  22. So absurdly stupid.

    Yeah go tell AEP or Southern or Duke that they have to spend billions converting the power plants from gas to coal after they already spent billions converting them from coal to gas over the past 20 years.

    I’m sure that conversation will go well. 😂

  23. All the coal workers in the country combined wouldn’t fill a college football stadium, however the people that own coal mines and coal plants could probably fill Trump’s pockets… 

  24. There is zero economic incentive to maintain an existing coal plant, much less open a new one.

  25. More people work at “Arby’s” than are employed in the coal sector.

  27. Nationalized coal plants as a jobs program? On the path to Stupid New Deal

  28. I welcome the 1920s technology of coal-fired power.

    I just really like century old stuff – like flappers, silent movies, dance marathons, flagpole sitting, dancing the Charleston, speakeasies and good old coal-fired power.

  29. Because he’ll be dead soon and doesn’t care what his grandkids lives are like.

  30. Who is dumb enough to spend hundreds of millions for an obsolete shit heap?

  31. He’s surrounded by billionaire technocrats. How does this even become an option?

  32. Ah yes, let’s add this to the list of all the things that are not going to happen.

  33. Can’t wait for all the houses to go from white siding to coal black just like the good old days

  35. Most of these businesses/ corporations have already invested 100’s of millions of dollars to move away from coal. Just because they can go back doesn’t mean they will. Trump knows or should know all of this. The only reasons he’s mentioning it now is that he made a promise to his voter base and then will blame hence companies that don’t follow through and blame them. They are the ones , they are not giving you your jobs back. Gaslighting 101!

  36. Not if people wield the same enthusiasm for tesla cars.
