So how much “unleashing” of coal did Mr. Trump do in his last term in office? From the New York Times’ Lisa Friedman last June:
Mr. Trump oversaw coal’s decline, not its salvation. Despite the fact that Mr. Trump gutted climate regulations and appointed a coal lobbyist to lead the country’s top environmental agency, 75 coal-fired power plants closed and the industry shed about 13,000 jobs during his presidency.
“Not a single coal miner went back to work or power plant saved,” said Erin E. Bates, a spokeswoman for the United Mine Workers of America, the labor organization representing coal miners.

Hmmm. Is our new representative aligning himself with the Jewish space laser wing of the Trump Party?
