It will take time but regardless of Trump's hard-on for coal and the glamorous lifestyle it afforded the working class miners, I think it's fair to say we've passed "peak coal" and it's probably not coming back.

Is there any developed country that hasn't reduced the percentage of electricity produced by coal in the last decade?
I'll never understand the disdain for people who do manual labor. Not glamorous but it pays good and offers benefits, something most people are content with.
