Read what I wrote.. Coal is not financially viable to create power. Plants are closing all over the US because they are losing money. I said that in order for them to be "profitable" they would need to pay workers $1.50/hr to make the plants viable. Obviously that's not gonna happen..
Even in China they are stopping coal and China has shit loads of cheap labor and shitloads of coal. China has 170 billion tons of coal reserves and they import it from slave labor in North Korea for dirt cheap, but even they see the writing on the wall. Solar & wind cost way less and is renewable..
Trump bringing back "coal jobs" is bullshit and he should be honest with these people and set up programs to retrain them rather than lie to them giving them false hope..
