Coal would be soon completely dead if Trump had not geen elected. I know lots of people that have gone back to work in the coal industry. Mines that have not shut down but have gotten new coal contracts. There is now confidnce among coal people. Thanks to our president Donald Trump.
Yes he did save coal and he is not done. In the process to make coal competitive. Will be getting rid of more unnecessary regulations that purposefully drove up the cost of mining coal.
No, the Repubs do not have complete control. Yet. I expect them to have a little more control after the November election and eventually gain complete control after the 2020 election. That and replacing one more supreme court justice should do it.
