“Daring rescue”. Just say it: he lied. He took advantage of the last desperate hopes of people working in a dying industry and used them for votes knowing he would never be able to deliver on his promise.

He might as well say horse and buggy is the transportation of the future. Not happening. The coal museum is run on clean/green energy.

The countries around the world that we transport coal to will be sad to hear that.

The world must learn lessons from China. Its coal fired Industrial setup has made China to pay a heavy price for population health. India's coal fired power plants have made many cities, a hazardous place to stay.

CNN stay with facts.

Another campaign promise unfulfilled!

oh shut up criticism doesn't help anybody or anything

CNN: Is that the same as when Obama tried to save GM & SOLINDRA BIG $$$ wasted. My my, how soon you forget. You sickening bias is disgusting!

Breaking: Politicans promise shit they can't deliver. Thanks CNN, you're amazing.

Coal is outdated time to move to natural gas

Duh

The market will decide on what happens. Market is compose of people making decisions. I hope that these decisions lead healthier environment

And Hillary Clinton was a shoe in for president. Speculation instead of news seems to be the core of CNN

He lied! Coal industry wasn’t coming back!

I dont see why liberals cant accept that it is possible to continue using coal while we transition to green energy

It’s something he knows nothing about

At least trump tried to do something, unlike Obama who pushed an economic crushing health care upon us.

Export coal up 60 % you are fake news!

So you say !

Try burning DAY LIGHT....rather than hydroCARBONS.......SIMPLE!

Think of all the lives he will save when his coal mines close.

AKimCampbell there's a surprise .. not

A daring rescue? That”s an odd choice of words. This “rescue” was just more political grandstanding to try and appeal to people in a dying industry and prey on their fears and insecurities. Instead of helping them to invest in a new future, Trump used them. That’s not a rescue

Another failure by the FOOL who runs America

Our planet is dying

Just another broken promise that should have never been made to begin with given that coal is being shunned around the world. Again another broken promise by Trump who is making Unqualified decisions hurting Americans. Skills training a much better answer. 2020 you’re chance.

America does not want coal as its orinary energy source any more they want cleaner air to breathe !m

Anal ..lists ..are WRONG 🙄🤪

Things don’t happen overnight. In a true free market system, things like coal will do whatever society demands.

Coal can't make a comeback. Who knew? Thanks Captain Obvious.

Clean coal?

Dear CNN Pretty sure that Potus has helped the coal industry, by way of its mere existence. Which Obama, and most certainly HRC would have completely destroyed.

FAKE NEWS! I am SHOCKED that Communist News Network hasn't lost its license for claiming to be 'news' when its only gossip & lies. Hope AjitPaiFCC takes a look for CNN has no clue what TRUTH is.

The Day of Coal is coming to a close...with Oil not far behind...trying to restart a dying industry is pointless.

Let coal die. The market has spoken.

Is this the same analysts used to predict the Economy for useless CNN?

Question for you greenies: where to the source materials for 'green energy' originate? Hint: see oil/gas/mining/petrochemical industries.

Nobody will make major investments in new coal generated electric power plants. Won’t happen because of an uncertain political future for the long-term $$$. Otherwise clean coal would still be the lowest cost power source for consumers. But Liberals could care less on cost.

No shit.

No shit.

According to fake news network... anything President Trump does ... fails... yet we have historically low unemployment rates the best economy in decades... they’re just butthurt the money they poured to elect killary didn’t work.

Gee I wonder why? “Honey get the horse ready I’m going to pick up some milk.”

Trump should have started smaller! Like bring back whale oil!

CNN is fake news

Coal is 19th century tech. There's no demand for it in the 21st century. Hillary Clinton tried to explain this to people in coal country. And, they did not want to listen. They chose to believe Trump's fairy tale. It's time for them to join the 21st century, too.

Obama killed it along with everything else!!

You’re wrong. It’s a low cost energy source. Wait and watch.

They can't bring coal back. But that won't stop them from undoing regulations to let the producers squeeze out every last cent of profit while they still can.

Santa is going to put a lump of coal in Trumps Christmas stocking

mrskmax Duh.

Revive the small towns along the Mississippi river and bring back coal.

BS

Why would anyone even want to rescue the coal industry when nuclear and renewable energies are so much less deadly?

If Trump were a democrat, your tweet would say something like, 'Trump administration policies lead to sharp rise in both coal exports and renewable and natural energy production.'

Australia uses coal for 80 percent of their electricity, there is a market. Blue collar jobs r important and the east coast was devastated by restrictions.

Coal miners fell for Donald Trump's empty promises. Donald Trump used them for votes and money.

We should be mining coal and selling it overseas while using the profits to develop green energy. That way you get good jobs, energy development and supply developing nations with a fuel while they themselves work out their energy issues.

Amazing that anyone thinks that old, filthy technology of digging coal from the ground and burning it going away is a bad thing. And trust me, I know about being run out of business by technology. I worked in the printing industry from age 15 to 46.

He is trying to revive coal Ind. but for sure he revived Middle Americans disposable income with jobs, higher wages and tax cuts. I can vouch for that personally. Bring me on one of your shows and I will show you the difference between 2012 and 2018. You won’t, that’s real news

There'll be enough for Trumps stocking. 🖕🎅🏻

Promises made in ignorance have little chance of being fulfilled.

Now, who didn't see that coming...

That coal train has left the station.

Trump is a goof and has no clue. Most factories are electric most electricity is produced by steam or Nucular power plants, dams very few exist now. And it's expensive to ship for a small profit. Cause no one uses it much, most stoves are for wood. Not much of a marget.

Coal isn't coming back because we KNOW FOR FACT that fossil fuels won't last and it's dirty energy! Energy companies are turning to CLEAN ENERGY. AWEA

Beautiful clean coal...

Its a hard one to win. The left is winning the propaganda war against coal, right now. Eventually, like France, we the people will push back against a gov that wants to use global warming alarmism to control & tax.

That’s more fake news. I know people in the coal country, and the industry is booming.

just another lie

They need to spend the money retraining & looking at alternative, more viable, energy sources.

What? Aren't pieces of coal the 'go-to' stocking stuffier for bad little boys and girls?

Trump has told lies all the way around the country to everyone. He should've known and also everyone else he was talking something how could not deliver.

Early days

TRUMP'S A LIAR !!!!!

More like to thinking that we'll end to become the coal or fossil.

More TRUMP snake-oil!!

What's the difference between a hyphen and dash? Dashes and hyphens look really similar, but they have very different functions in writing. Dashed if I know! A Hyphen is something that scares Winnie-the-Pooh Answer:

Technology goes forward, not backward.

Daring.
