Yeah, when I read stuff like this it just makes me shake my head. Natural gas has been the noose around coal’s neck for a while now and these people still believe that a NY con man is going to bring antiquated jobs back. Say what you want about illegal immigrants but I actually have some respect for them that they’ll travel long distances and risk their necks to make it across the border just to find work doing the most menial jobs. Meanwhile, entitled Americans won’t even get off their ass to take advantage of training and courses that are practically given to them.
The workers and pensioners of the whale oil industry feel your pain.

Talk about not giving a ■■■■■■■■ government offered to retrain those in the coal industry for other jobs and most of these asses said no.
Bet that doesnt stop them in a couple years from being like the farmers now who signed up for the very policies that they are now asking to be subsidized in response to.
Wasn’t this one of Obama’s promises that he would bankrupt coal companies? I believe it was so ithis should make liberals extremely happy, but there is just no pleasing them!
Hopefully this company can regroup and restructure the business and recoup their Obama loses.
The skyrocketing electric rates would effect EVERYONE and EVERY business. So consumers (aka you and I) get hit twice. That sure as hell sounds like wanting to either bankrupt coal companies or the people or both.
