Without coal to power this nation you would be sitting in the cold and dark. With no refrigeration to keep your food from spoiling you would very likely be malnourished and sick, and probably die very young. You would have no electronics because the affordability of coal power makes their manufacturing and use possible. If you choose to purchase an electric car, that car is most likely coal powered because most of the electricity in this nation comes from coal. So when will you be giving up all your modern life conveniences and returning to a hunter/gather life style? It is not about the executives pockets. It is about clean, reliable power production and coal does this every day and has for years.

Executives aiming to protect their pockets are always waving with job losses (a cheap way to instill fear in the heart of an average Joe watching news). As progress goes on, some jobs are rendered obsolete. It’s been like this since the beginning of industrial revolution. And it was always accompanied with such BS claims. If it all came true, all of us (but ececutives) would be unemployed now.
