    “I tell my people never use the word ‘coal’ unless you put ‘beautiful clean’ before it. … So we call it beautiful clean coal.”

    There’s not much I wouldn’t give to make some of these fuckers experience the next 80 years the way my kids will.

      That’s a joke, right? Right???

      Edit because I’m getting downvoted and feel like there might be a misunderstanding: I of course meant the quote, not the comment

    Not just above a mine. But in her home !

    The agency prohibited further mining under homes where the coal seam is within 400 feet of the surface until the new permit has been approved, according to the order

    It is nice they react , it would have been more sane to not do it first maybe ? What a weird country.
