Coal needs to go. Its a dying and almost obsolete - not to mention contaminating - industry. Making it grow - however little it may do - is pointless. Those jobs can be saved in so many other ways. 

But it's not.  Over 30% of electricity in the US is generated from coal.  Another 30% comes from fossil fuels.

Yes, down from 52.89% that it was just as early as 2000, thats why it is a dying industry. And year after year its steadily declining.
