"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

Get ready for #BlackLung
#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.

Musical Interlude: I just heard this song the other day on one of my favorite podcasts, Appodlachia, and it really came home to me. Addressing the exploitation of the region, how the money made there doesn't stay there, and the plagues of black lung and opioid abuse, it's a sobering portrait of a region I love.
"Vampire in Appalachia," performed by Philip Bowen with Josiah and the Bonnevilles.

Good to see these two corrupt politicians being held accountable for their actions.
We very much need credible governments.
We need to be able to rely on them functioning properly and in #ThePublicInterest.Things like #PublicHealth, #TaxCompliance, confidence in regulatory bodies and #SocialCohesion are at risk when #BlackLung, #RoboDebt, #AgedCareCrisis and #InstitutionalChildAbuse happen due to government failings.
