Original 8/3/2018 post, "The Emperor of Coal is wearing no clothes", starts here.
From 4/9/2018 USA Today article:
Coal employment and production are up just slightly, coal consumption is down, and coal prices have fallen a little below where they were the day that Trump took office.
“I don’t think Trump has had any effect on coal so far,” said Noah Kaufman, a research scholar at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy.
The data may not show it, but coal leaders are adamant that Trump already has had a positive influence on their industry. For the first time in years, they say, miners are daring to feel optimistic about coal’s prospects.
