Coal Mine Opens in PA

[Catatonic]

What part do you believe is fake? They scheduled the opening of this mine in June of 2016 in response to a disruption in metallurgical coal production in Australia that drove the price up making it profitable to open here.

Geez dude ... I put "Proxy for DIDO".

I'm at a concert in the park!
Don't bother me with facts!

FAKE!​

Obama would not have let them re-open the mine.
That's the difference!

Fake news.

The mine was going to open one way or the other, Obama/Trump be damned.

People, pay attention.

Bottom line ... who cares?
Other than the people who got jobs there.

I guess.

The only jobs at that plant are management jobs.

OMG who cares.

A job is a job when you've been unemployed for a couple years.

No single unemployed person will get a job at that plant.

Coal plants have increasingly been mechanized, and this coal plant in particular isn't the type of coal plant that hires people.

So, wrong, wrong, and also wrong.

 

[BrownArmy]

...and this coal plant in particular isn't the type of coal plant that hires people...

Unless they're management, in which case, yes, people will be hired.

Also, robot techs, etc.

You don't know that anymore than I do.
Just making crap up.
But this is Current Events ... Good Job!

This plant isn't working on 'coal' for energy, it's working on 'coal' for making steel.

Different situation.

So, yes, I'm making crap up.

New Coal Mine To Bring 70 Jobs Or More To Pennsylvania

Corsa said the new mine will create about 70 jobs this year, and that could grow to 100 jobs.

Dethlefsen said Corsa also hopes to boost production at its Casselman and Quecreek mines and is considering more growth.

He said the Trump administration’s plans for roads, bridges and other construction “will help with steel demand, which is good for the coal industry.”

New Coal Mine To Bring 70 Jobs Or More To Pennsylvania...

I stand corrected.

Seventy whole jobs, that's amazing.

Making America Great Again, seventy jobs at a time.

If this is what winning looks like, then we're just going to die on this planet.

Yep ... I didn't think it was a big deal other than the PR angle.

 

[Catatonic]

So now we are going backwards. Idiots.

The opening was put in motion under the Obama administration. Trump's removal of environmental protections of coal use has nothing to do with the opening of this mine.

Just read that part.

LMAO!!!
So it's OK if Obama started it and "going backwards" if Trump did.

Send me a PM next time and I will delete your posts for you so you don't look like a total hypocrite!

LMAO!!!

 

[It will be fine]

I would guess he thought the mine was for coal for energy which would be going backwards in terms of clean energy production. It's for steel so it's not as bad for the environment.

No ... it's the same mining operation that scars the Earth and eventually pollutes the air.

 

[Sportello]

It is estimated that 85% of the coal will be exported.
