"Clean #energy has become a bogeyman in the #culture #wars: #mining & #burning #coal are considered 'manly' activities, while #renewableenergy is portrayed as #woke & effeminate. Real men don’t worry about #blacklung & #airborne #particulates, let alone #climatechange." The energy worldview of Donald #Trump & #MAGA, @GeraldKutney.

"While the Trump administration is directing hundreds of millions of dollars to coal projects, miners in Appalachia are suffering from a resurgence of black lung disease. But industry pushback is delaying federal rules that would reduce miners’ exposure to deadly silica dust."

While #coal plants once generated nearly half of America’s #electricity, they produced just 16% last year. Hundreds of coal plants have retired since the mid-2000s as utilities switched to #NaturalGas, #wind & #solar power. Stricter #regulations on #air & #water #pollution have also made burning coal more expensive. Coal #mining, which has been linked to significant air pollution & water contamination as well as #BlackLung #disease in coal miners, has also faced increased federal restrictions.

Trump’s treatment of Appalachia’s coal miners exemplifies his approach to labor in general: Kneecap unions whenever possible, prop up industry profits at all costs, and if a few workers die in the process, pretend it never happened.

Trump Administration Delays Rule Protecting Coal Miners from Black Lung — Again
Exposure to toxic silica dust is driving an increase in black lung cases among miners across Appalachia.
-
‘They don’t care:’ Advocates for miners with black lung worry as silica dust rule delayed again.
The rule — which would cut allowable exposure to silica dust in half — was supposed to go into effect in April, then August and now, depending on the courts, is likely delayed until October

🎵 Is that the wind you hear howlin’ through the holler?
Or the ghost of a widow that cries?
For every man that died for a coal company dollar
A lung full of dust and a heart full of lies”
—“It’s About Blood,” Steve Earle (2020) 🎶
#BlackLung epidemic is tearing through #Appalachia, killing miners as young as their 30s. And the Trump admin just defunded #NIOSH, the worker health agency that’s been tracking it.2023

#Trump set to sign #ExecutiveOrders to boost #US #coal
When burned, coal releases more of the main #GreenhouseGas carbon dioxide than any other #FossilFuel. It also emits criteria #pollutants that are blamed for #lung & #heart illnesses. Much of its use has declined on #regulations from #Democrats, including President Joe #Biden.
