Just remember that Bob Murray died October 2020 of black lung disease. Hated government regulation then applied for government black lung benefits when he was dying. Irony right there.

It's not you It's not CO2 it is the precession of the sun's shadow millennial alpha omega equinoxes. When earth's orbits eclipse the sun's electromagnetic gravitational equator every 12,000 years for a 1,000 years. Causing these the birthing pains of this the millennium of climate change end times. The Great Year or Mystery of the 7 star crossings Jesus held in his hand to warn us about the cause. The Galactic milankovitch cycles. The first of Noah's Tsunami's will be pulled out & around the planet east to west by the new moon with the major conjunction of mercury & venus in 2033 & every 40 years thereafter for the millennium it takes the earth's orbits to cross the Sun's solar plane separating the fermie cells of it's OOrt cloud magnetosphere. Jesus is the truth life & only way to have life & life more abundantly on God our fathers footstool.

Bob Murray stated that he suffered from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a scarring of the lung tissue leading to shortness of breath. In September 2020, he filed application for black lung benefits with the U.S. Department of Labor. While running coal mining companies, Murray disputed claims filed by miners for black lung benefits and was an advocate against federal regulations intended to reduce black lung.

Why is no one surprised? Maybe bcs he is the WORST. He dosen't care about his workers, he cares about them making HIM money COMPLETELY different. If you truly care for someone, you try to make sure they are safe, he does not. He reminds me of my sister. If confronted by anything obvious, they will just lie about what has happened Starting quite calmly but working themselves up as much as they can in the process whist manically telling you more lies & off topic arguments often using dramatic language, and by doing that they turn themselves into the victim they feel like & use some type of emotional extortion bcs they hope you won't go on with any argument without feeling and to them now looking like an a******, bcs they are now in tears SO worked up. Indicating is your fault. If you still do continue, they WILL explode as an immediate reaction bcs now they are angry, offended & really feel like a victim when you don't follow their rules & shut up. Don't notice reality.. just let them continue with their self galning BS - or else.. Taking any responsibility is not possible. Not even for their own actions.. They will always use that tactic to deflect, to get out off any situation they dislike & to make others do & act as they want them to. Incredibly immature bcs every toddler knows that game- feel sorry for myself & get angry when it dosen't work - bcs I have no coping skills.. it's one thing when a toddler does it, it's undefendable when a grown, senior man does it..

they do have a point though. Many of the people talking about these EPA regulations are people with multiple cars, multiple homes, jobs at tech companies. If you were really honest about your position, you would say 'fine let's kill coal jobs. And we will share our money with people who lose money because of it'. IS the government or you willing to do that? No. So let us feed our families the best way we can.

@@jamesgarfoyle3188 "Many of the people talking about these EPA regulations", that was all of the people interviewed. Now, if what you are attempting to say, in general, is that the rich, techie, nerd people are trying to kill blue collar jobs. That would be the people 'endorsing' EPA regulation. Let's be honest, I would wager not one person endorsing stricter oversight of the rules, made a statement that was anything like "Let's get rid of coal jobs." The problem is they are heavy polluters and they don't care and they attempt to shirk the law. The EPA does not write laws just to be punitive, they do it because we must keep the waters and air and ground free of as much pollution as possible. We share the planet with millions upon millions of other species that evolved along with us. Yes the surface is covered by 3/4 water but only a small fraction of a percent is fresh water. To see what happens when a planet's atmosphere goes out of control look to Venus. You say that the people are just trying to feed their families the best way they can but that is not a true statement. The best way you can is to do good by people, society, and the planet. You just meant the most convenient way. Also those families, all families are an issue. The population is too great to be supported by the natural process of the planet to feed everybody. Every person does not require a many copies of themselves to ensure our species survives. If the population stays the same or reduces then the need for the rising demand of power and resources and the levels of pollution and waste will follow. I have always been a blue collar worker, except when I worked with mentally handicapped and mentally ill people but I was still assisting them in their jobs in the community, And frankly I do not think the government is doing enough to get us off of fossil fuels. Petrol needs to be exorbitant to get people out of cars.

Like every other industry in America. Show me one industry that is in the business of growing jobs. The business community has, as its number one priority, always sought to continually reduce expenses in order to boost profits, show false growth, and reap their bonuses at the expense of labor and the consumer. When Pruitt said Trump resisted the influence of the special interests, I almost choked. If Murray Energy isn’t a particularly “special” special interest, I don’t know who is.

I think we need politicians who are honest with us and not worry about powerful lobbyists lining each other's pockets. Do we need alternative energy sources, absolutely but people like obummers administration were trying to thrust that on us all at once, too much too fast. He was on the right track with clean energy,but you cannot change it that quickly for many reasons. We're you alive when we had leaded gasoline? Just curious.

Our civilzation is smart enough to recognize that the bus is heading for the cliff but the bus driver won't turn the steering wheel or slow down because he will loose money if he does. And those bus riders? They are us, his decendents, and our decendents who are powerless to stop him. So how smart are we really?

Yep, Republican corruption and greed r destroying this country thanks to the Republican majority Supreme Court making greater corruption in politics legal, gutting the voter rights act disenfranchising young, minority, disabled, poor, mostly Dem voters but some republican voters too, refusing to make a decision on gerrymandering bc they r well aware it’s unconstitutional, anti-democratic, and disenfranchises many M&L class voters, etc. By the time M&L class Republican voters figure out the Republican Party and their donors r leading us right off the cliff and advantaging our foreign adversaries, it’s probably going to be too late. China, w/Russia’s help, is determined to become the world leader. Autocracy w/CCP ideology will become the dominate ideology throughout the world. The Republican Party and their wealthy donors don’t have a problem w/this bc it’s primarily the M&L classes who r going to lose most all their rights, including the 2nd amendment (most, if not all, citizens can’t have guns in autocracies), and have to live as low paid slaves for the oligarchs. We’ll see even more socialism for the rich/corporations and harsh capitalism for the M&L classes. If greedy corporations continue their capture government and pushing for policies which benefit the those corporations regardless of the price the M&L classes and the country as a whole will pay, we’ll be returning to the US similar to the beginning when we were controlled by a king on another continent. Republican voters will then learn it’s not going to work out well for anyone in the M&L classes and since we will have already lost our rights, like our right to vote or for our votes to count, we won’t be able to change the situation. We’d have to elect a bunch of far-left politicians to reduce the income and wealth inequality, legalized corruption, and corrupt republican judges and I just don’t see that happening. The wealthy and corporations have far too much $ and can use as much as they want to drown out the voices of the M&L classes and Dem politicians, especially the far-left progressives. This is so depressing!

I wish that they were required to sign a legal contract that says that their future generations don't get to let their money save them but rather they get dropped in the front line of impact and the back of the line for aid from climate change disasters and stripped of their wealth as it will go to helping to mitigate their ancestors wealth accumulation at our future's expense

As we see and hear what it always boils down to is cutting into profits for the big boys.....no effort to work toward finding a way where all can have both but the big boys don't want to lose one dollar that can be put in their pockets. The threats of the price has to go up where the citizens have to pay and will pay and the employees will have to be laid off. Never working together toward a win win resolve for all. ....and as long as those industries who are detrimentally affecting our environment can shovel money in the direction of presidents, vice presidents, and others which Scot Pruitt shows will corrupt everyone loses.

The EPA’s main problem is that of marketing. It is out of touch with America’s industrial workers. We need to solve the issues of climate change, and in a democracy, you need to recruit as many people to your cause as possible. The EPA should have been doing town halls and outreach programs to show concern for the struggles regulations will cause for these people while advocating for the benefits.

Most EPA issues didn't seem to involve pivoting communities out of Coal jobs/energy dependency. I agree with you. If they had better outreach and more comprehensive marketing to target consumers, not just B2B. They are in charge of regulating companies but these companies employ regular people who don't understand or care much more than "you're agency wants to kill my job and give me nothing to replace it." It's a bad stance to take in the face of a community that is focused more on providing, right now, for their families, not for the environment of a planet they have no control of.

Hello Frontline. This is a prime example of what you do best. An almost fully narrated presentation. Here and there is dialogue by others. All in the same language. What you also do are the expose' or what ever is the correct word. What you also do are presentations with almost no english and many subtitles. Personally those may be noble causes that are gratefully appreciated by the subjects themselves. However your core audience is not. It's understood that with an epidemic that the vast majority of most work forces is not at it's pre epidemic census. We implore you. Your core audience to please continue with what Frontline is known for. That could very well be the reason this was uploaded. Thank you.

31:03 Pretty sure that’s Conesville, Ohio I went to school in Dresden and as a Boy Scout we camped at the Muskingum scout reservation! I remember listening to the generators kick on it was like Transformers were fighting even over a mile away. I hope the village can diversify from McWane Ductile to the brand new business park that will sit upon the gravesite of the AEP Conesville coal plant, would love to see renewable energy projects in the area maybe even a future SMR some day to return it to generating power for Ohioans including myself!
