"Mine, Baby, Mine!" Burgum wrote on X, adding that Coalie will act as a "spokesperson" for Trump's "American Energy Dominance Agenda".

Climate activists criticized the latest attempt by the administration to boost the image of the dirtiest fossil fuel despite its effects on the planet and public health, with one critic describing it as "one of the most heinous ways to produce energy that our world has ever seen"."

''

"I have a little standing order in the White House," Trump said last year during a speech to the United Nations. "Never use the word coal'. Only use the words clean, beautiful coal'. Sounds much better, doesn't it?"

Despite this branding, and the attempt to make a lump of coal appear cute, coal remains the dirtiest of fossil fuels, being a major driver of the climate crisis and a source of toxic, deadly air pollution to nearby communities when burned.

Coal miners have long struggled with adverse health affects, such as black lung disease, after inhaling coal dust."

Trump's "American Energy Dominance Agenda".

These guys live in a fantasy world.

China is already more energy dominant than the United States.
China has produced more electricity than the United States for fifteen years now.
Coal isn't going to bridge that gap for us.

As a fuel, coal sucks. It's only advantage is there is lots of it.

Well, it's also profitable and kills off werkers before they can retire with company benefits.

Win-win.

Coal power is too expensive no matter what they do.

It's not happening.

Coal power is too expensive

It's not too bad if you don't have to transport it far. For that, you need to build your power plant right on top of the mine.

Coalie? Reminds me of Slimey.

Meet Slimey, the maggot. Notice he's orange and stinky, just like the rot-infested cult leader of those other MAGAts.

Slimey likes to swim around in ---- and hang around Grouches. Just like the MAGAts.

It's not giving me the Lawn Jockey vibes I was hoping for.

It's not doing enough to harken back to the stories from little kids growing up in West Virginia who thought their daddy was black.

Even then, coal plants are just too inefficient compared to other power sources now.

True enough. Goes back to coal being a sucky fuel.

@#3 ... As a fuel, coal sucks. It's only advantage is there is lots of it. ...

...and, in the eyes of Pres Trump, another apparent advantage is that it kills the miners who work for the wealthy mine owners.


Does Pres Trump have more concern about the wealthy mine owners, or the workers in the mines?

Coal Worker's Pneumoconiosis (Black Lung Disease)
www.lung.org

... Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), commonly known as "black lung disease," occurs when coal dust is inhaled. Over time, continued exposure to the coal dust causes scarring in the lungs, impairing your ability to breathe. Considered an occupational lung disease, it is most common among coal miners. ...

Trump is such a sucker for a get rich scheme.

Someone should tell him that in a few years that coal would turn into diamonds and he could corner the diamond market. Then he could buy up all the coal mines and just sit and wait.

He'd probably go for that.

Is this Stephen Miller's latest distraction?

Were you born an -------, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ------- tonight

Yes you're an -------, and don't you try to blame it on me
You deserve all the credit, you're an ------- tonight

You were an ------- yesterday, you're an ------- tonight
And I've got a feeling, you'll be an ------- the rest of your life

And I was talking to your mother, just the other night
I told her I thought you were an -------, she said "yes, I think you're right"

And a-ll your friends are -------s, 'cause you've known them your whole life
And somebody told me, you've got an ------- for a wife

Were you bo-rn an -------, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ------- tonight

Miller is Trump's Joseph Goebbels.

Note the resemblance.

@#18 ... Miller is Trump's Joseph Goebbels. ...

My concern is that Mr Miller has Oval Office access.

Of course he does. You don't think Trump has the smarts to run this whole show by himself, do you?

Lying is Trump "thing." And there isn't anybody alive who doesn't already know that Trump is a just a lying sack of buffalo chips (cow manure) including everybody in his administration.

Trump should switch the White House over to coal heat to show his support and get some exercise stoking the furnace in the morning.

It's a dirty and inefficient energy source.

But we should try and save and preserve as much as possible.

It will be a good fuel source for use in recovering and restoring civilization and for starting over from the collapse of the Empire after the Great American FAFO.
