“I’m the only candidate which [sic] has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country, because we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right, Tim? and we’re going to make it clear that we don’t want to forget those people,” Clinton said.

“Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now we’ve got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don’t want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on.”

Who's Tim? Anyway, maybe someone should clue in hildebeast that solar and wind ain't quite working out as planned. But, then again, they're just coal miners. They can get new jobs anywhere. Right? According to the lyin' king and his supporters, the economy is roaring right along.

that oughta help in PA.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

that oughta help in PA.

Yeah...really. NOT.

And there goes WV too.

[rktman]

WVa and Kentucky too. Yup, the dems have the unions backs. Right?

[unixfox]

In other words, “We are going to finish off the coal industry”

[IC Ken]

Too late Hillary. The mines in PA and WV have already been devastated.

[PGR88]

There aren’t many coal miners left - but there are gobs of brain-dead leftists who believe in global warming.

[GrouchoTex]

I am guessing she didn’t say that in West Virginia, Kentucky, etc...

[silverleaf]

The democrats have done such a great job in the past 8 years creating new jobs with green energy

Just ask the employees of Solyndra

Well, maybe ask the owners but not the employees

Trump will expose how much govt money has gone to these green energy scams and what the results have been for people like Ohioans

[Enlightened1]

I am sure this will help her win States like Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio.

[TBP]

Way to create jobs!

[Mr. K]

Oh, well... I guess that’s OK then

I mean if you sell people down the river so you can get summo’ dat money for drug addicts and mentally ill, I guess that makes it OK

We had a place here, they were going to grow algae, all subsidized by Uncle Sam. Millions of dollars invested before they closed up shop.

[Mr Apple]

Looks like she'll be indicted, withdraw from the race -and go to prison along with Abedin and shahultee Cheryl Mills. And Bill will brought down along with Jeffrey Epstein because of all those underage girls they diddled with on Epstein's Island. They can both befuddle with themselves in prison...amongst all the other pervies.

I *wish* men did not have to go down in the mines in order
to keep the power humming. However, there are men who
actually WANT that job. - I couldn’t physically do it; but
I don’t think that either Hillary or I should stick our
noses in the jobs that other people want & take pride in.
- “Alternate” energy does not seem to actually be working in
any REAL way all that well. - Hillary lives in a dream world
that most of us do not have access to; so we just have to
see to it that she doesn’t pull any more of the Clinton wool
over people’s eyes. - Hillary’s tilting at windmills.

It sounded like such a grand idea too. The bottleneck in such a process was the feed water. Anything of practical scale would gobble up fresh water resources to an unacceptable extent.

I wondered about being able to do it with ocean water somehow, but imagine the chaos if that special algae got loose in the oceans.

Even if heavily robotized, someone has to run the robots.
