#1 Few coal miners are his people or members of the urban entitlement crowd. They are generally rural, hardscrabble, Appalachian folk. He has absolutely nothing in common with these people or they way of life. The Champ could care less about them or their families.

#2 Job-killing, poverty-exacerbating, electricity rate-raising, unmeasurable temperature-benefitting.

Pretty much says it. The rules are going to be hard on the coal mining industry here in Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia. It's not like we are flush in jobs here or in the country, but this guy never really gave a damn about jobs anyway--it's always been about his damned leftist agenda.

#6 Aren't the mines selling an increasing amount of coal to Europe for their power plants?

"Exports are projected to total nearly 100 MMst in 2014. Coal exports totaled more than 100 MMst per year between 2011 and 2013. Before that, coal exports had not reached 100 MMst since 1992. In 2015, projected exports fall back to 91 MMst, primarily because of continuing economic weakness in Europe (the largest regional importer of U.S. coal), slowing Asian demand growth, and increasing coal output in other coal-exporting countries."
