Governor Says Trump Interested in His Plan to Prop Up Coal Mining - Bloomberg

'West Virginia Governor Jim Justice said Donald Trump is “really interested” in his plan to prop up Appalachian mining by giving federal money to power plants that burn the region’s coal. '

'The Appalachian coal sector has been shrinking for years as companies are forced to spend more money to access harder-to-reach seams of the fossil fuel. '

'U.S. power plants burned at least 110 million short tons of Appalachian coal in 2016, according to Andrew Cosgrove, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. '

'Justice rejects the notion that his plan amounts to a "bailout" or "subsidy" for Appalachian coal. '

'It’s a complicated idea.”In Justice’s eyes, the coal payments will be necessary because Trump’s moves to roll back regulations on the Appalachian coal industry won’t be enough to preserve it. '

"Trump is going to lose in historic fashion(think Mondalesque) and when he does, I will be here to mock you mercilessly, know that. I've saved this comment to come back and do just that in November." - @p0ssum
