But his comment about supporting coal while also supporting renewables of the future impressed me. It's a far cry from the cruel fantasy of telling these mining communities that King Coal will be restored. That's simply not going to happen. We owe these communities their own shot for the future with retraining programs and revitalization because for decades they broke their backs and sacrificed their health to keep the lights on across the country. That being said, pretending we'll return to a past that no longer exists is just wrong as wrong can be.
