minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoIdk if you’re just wildly misinterpreting what I am saying or ??? The foreign coal markets are what is keeping the American coal industry afloat. That’s what I am saying. The USA is largely phasing coal out, Trump and co are trying to stop this because they’re stupid. The coal industry in the USA is dead without foreign purchasers.m, of which China is one.
