Wake up white people...another dead Trump promise.

Trump Coal Bailout Is Dead.
Quote:
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission unanimously rejected a proposal to subsidize coal-burning and nuclear power plants on Monday. Its defeat hands a victory to the motley coalition—of environmental groups, natural-gas companies, free-market advocates, and Democratic state attorneys general—who had opposed the rule and promised to fight it in court.

The 5-0 rejection was all the bitterer for the administration because four of the five commissioners who lead the agency were appointed by President Trump, and three are Republicans.
When are the dumbfucker white Trumpist's and Republican voters in general going to extract their heads from their asses and realize that Donald is too stupid to actually put any legislation or even anyexecutive orders together that mean anything, and at the same time too intellectually lazy to learn enough to not be so fucking stupid.

Encouraging that some of Donny’s appointees are willing to vote against his vilest instincts.

So...I'm thinking the poor white disenfranchised working class Trump voters are at least as stupid as Trump. So it's doubtful they are paying enough attention to what is actually happening in the countru to realize that they are not going to get back the country they want. At least not from the deranged lazy-ass animal they put in charge.

The latest, of course is yesterday's big bipartisan meetingbqhere Donald agred with and vpiced support for anythin and everything that the members of both parties said...regardless of how much the statements conflicted. Now there's some really "art of the deal" type leadership. And proof that Donald is the same guy he's been for 40 years. Say yes to anything anybody says and then buttfuck everybody the moment they turn around.

Coal boss Robert Murray criticized the Trump administration for appointing "inadequate bureaucrats" to a regulatory commission that unanimously rejected a rescue plan for the crumbling coal industry.

Murray, the CEO of Murray Energy and a vocal supporter of President Trump's efforts to revive coal, warned that the decision by mostly Trump-appointed officials at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission would cause more coal-fired power plants to shut down.

Will Donny’s coal-country base be smart enough to turn on Donny for lying to them? I suppose they will be flooded with ads blaming it on “lefties” during election season.

I honestly have no idea what you're complaining about in this post. Trump has said that he wants multiple sources of energy including coal. While I agree that Perry's proposal to FERC was likely not a great solution, I suspect its just one pixel in a bigger picture.

However, the biggest challenge to the coal industry right now is the cheaper cost of other energy sources, such as natural gas. Not sure what legislation or EO's would be at Trumps disposal to fundamentally change the energy markets, and such legislation even if it did exist would likely be undesirable as well.

Also, opening up more drilling off shore and on land as Trump has proposed will also benefit the energy sector and ultimately the consumer. But, having said that, it will also conspire to make coal less competitive.

Now, if the economy gets moving at a sustained 4 or 5 %, which is possible, the increased demand for energy could put coal right back in the game.

Well, if the title of the OP is any indicator, its just the white folks who need to wake up and turn on Donny.

It is true that the vast majority of Trump voters are white (not to mention angry, fearful and uninformed).

Coal is poison. Burning it poisons the air. Mining it poisons the land.

I'm prepared for your best conservative denial.

PS - If there aren't any coal jobs go find another job.

Everything I am seeing since the new session started up again is about getting 2018 votes. Before they loaded up a budget and a ton of other dishonest items into a partisan budget looting the government and never intending to do anything other than to pass through reconciliation, and without Democratic input whatsoever. Now, new year, short term memories, have to get middle of the road votes. Time to feign bi-partisanship again. Look like the party that didn't pull the rug out from the working class to get votes and then twist the knife you stuck in those working class some more if you win. They are dumb enough to fall for Trump in the first place, they are dumb enough to fall for it again. Yep, could work again.
