I don't think that "cleaning up coal" is necessarily cost effective. It
depends a lot on where the coal is from (contaminants). All the
different cleaning techniques bring additional issues. Right now, the
majority of our coal is an export to China.

I see environmental regulation becoming more realistic, not based on
questionable climate change science, but based on real pollution
science. cleaner coal costs less to mitigate the environmental (real
environmental, not climate change) impact. Its cost effective and it
drives jobs in the mitigation industries.
Now that we are back in a nuclear arms race, there is real potential
for nuclear power to be revamped, it is the most efficient production
based on footprint, both physical and environmental.

Waste of money and impractical. Why not give New Mexico and

(I just don’t see it being a solution).
Dismantle ACA. Well, maybe, but what are they going to tell the
22,000,000 people that are getting health insurance that wouldn't
otherwise? What are they going to do about pre-existing
conditions? I
bet they might do something "different", but a wholesale
dismantling I
think will not happen.
ACA is dismantling itself. Insurers are dropping health
coverage from
the product line. My own low income kids and employees were
not helped
by ACA. Nobody was helped by the ACA. But that was predicted
from the
beginning. You cannot force an industry that gambles based on
actuarial
science to take high risk guaranteed looser customers and not
respond.
Bill Clinton even called it a disaster a few months ago. It is a
disaster.
Strike two.
Restore the coal industries and all the jobs associated with
it. Not
going to happen. Coal is on a downward spiral regardless of any
toothless proclamations.
We have lots of coal in Utah. It keeps getting cleaner and
cleaner.
Plus you need it for steel. We do still make steel in this
country.
Hillary was vowing to kill the industry completely. Anybody
want their
electricity bills to double? Focus on improving the coal
combustion
process. Killing jobs == not good.
Strike three.
Restore jobs to the rust belt and bring jobs back into the US. See
above. No proclamations by the ivory tower is going to change the
economics of those businesses. You tell me what a president
can do to
change this. I don't see any changes coming.
All politicians spout this kind of crap. They need to fix the
rust belt
with education. This is going to take a few generations.
Strike four.
Impose tariffs with China. Oh please. All the stuff all the
lower income
folks buy in Walmart come from China. How are they going to
like the
massive increase in prices that would entail? Further, China would
likely retaliate, and then our exports would go down as well.
Yeah,
that's a winning strategy.
+1, this would be a total disaster. Almost all electronic
components
come from China.
Strike five.
I could go on and on. This next four years is going to be
worse than the
previous 16.

A wall seperate humans. In Europe you travel without
walls. I drive
through austria to italy only stopped by these guys who
want money for
travelling over their roads. A spain could come to us and
work. A lot
of Bulgarian work in other european countries. The income
in bulgarian
is comparable to mexicans.
Germany always pay money for Europe. Eastern countries get
money until
they close up. You should see how and where e.g. VW
produces cars and
parts. But they also sell into these countries.
On the long run it makes sense to partner with your
neighbors. Even if
you think your neighbor has the bigger benefit.

I dont understand it, we built a boatload of ebola camps
in africa
that are unused, why not stage the refugees there while
theyre vetted.
99 percent of them are good folks, they need to get out of the
warzone. Men of fighting age should be the lowest priority for
resettlement since theyre choosing not to defend their
country, you
cant really blame them since they dont have the resources
to do so though.
germany had a wall that isolated its citizens from one
another, quite
a difference between that and a border wall.

Best would be to help neighbor countries to be able to
help, so
people do not need to travel this far (and it is a lot
cheaper to
help). In fact there are a lot of syrian in neighbor
countries
which need help themselfes.
But sorry your president will bomb someone to hell and
build walls
(remember we are happy our wall was teared down not so
long ago).
Did not hear "humanity" out of his mouth. But yes.
America first.
Very selfish. We had the same discussions with
England. They do
not like refugees, too. They dont like to be in
Europe. They want
to stay on their own.
Is this where we all are heading to. Selfish countries
which do
not like the others and let them alone?
