A Quote by Hilda Solis

Well, I'll tell you, one of things I'm proud of is for someone from Southern California, who didn't grow up around coal mines, I learned a lot that tragic day we lost twenty-nine miners at Upper Big Branch coal mine.

Writing is hard for every last one of us—straight white men included. Coal mining is harder. Do you think miners stand around all day talking about how hard it is to mine for coal? They do not. They simply dig.

Cheryl Strayed

The end of coal in Appalachia doesn't mean that America is running out of coal (there's plenty left in Wyoming). But it should end the fantasy that coal can be an engine of job creation - the big open pit mines in Wyoming employ a tiny fraction of the number of people in an underground mine in Appalachia.

Jeff Goodell

Donald Trump has got old-time loyalty, that's why people like him. He keeps his promises. He said he was going to take care of the coal miners and he stayed with the coal miners. People tell him there's no coal, he still stuck with them. He's attuned to them. The air and the pollution, it's all there, but he sticks to what he says he's going to do.

Don King

I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity - using clean, renewable energy as the key - into coal country, because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.

Hillary Clinton

The coal miners are working. But there's more than just coal miners in West Virginia.

Richard Ojeda

The relevant questions now are: How do we move beyond coal? How do we bring new jobs to the coal fields and retrain coal miners for other work? How do we inspire entrepreneurialism and self-reliance in people whose lives have been dependent on the paternalistic coal industry?

Jeff Goodell

When you talk about the coal communities we need a senator to protect the benefits these coal miners need and deserve and earned, because coal powered our country in the 20th Century.

Amy McGrath

Coal miners don't get coal miners' block.

John Green

Despite the frequent use of coal miners as a potent political symbol, coal jobs are disappearing - and they're not coming back.

Tom Steyer

Every time you warm yourself in front of a hot coal stove, remember the coal miners in the cold dark corridors and pray for them!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Every coal miner I talked to had, in his history, at least one story of a cave-in. 'Yeah, he got covered up,' is a way coal miners refer to fathers and brothers and sons who got buried alive.

Jeanne Marie Laskas

I was really shocked after all of this talk about coal miners and all of this talk about Buy America, the Republicans and the House of Representatives gutted health care and pension protections for coal miners and removed the Buy America provision that had been put in the bill in a bipartisan basis.

Claire McCaskill

Coal is good for humanity, coal is good for prosperity, coal is an essential part of our economic future, here in Australia, and right around the world.

Tony Abbott

The increase in coal production and the efficiency in coal movement are all administrative things that can add a lot to the economic growth.

Chanda Kochhar

Coal used to be a very dirty fuel but coal has become cleaner and cleaner over the decades. Clean coal now is quite clean. Clean coal now has the same emissions profile as natural gas. Clean coal can become cleaner still. We can take even more of the pollutants out of coal and I believe we should. Clean coal, I think, is the immediate answer to Canada's energy needs and the world's energy needs. There are hundreds of years available of coal supplies. We shouldn't be squandering that resource. We should be using it prudently.

Lawrence Solomon

I like coal fired. I'm definitely, generally, always a coal-fired guy. Crispy, don't do a ton of sauce, but kind of a well-done, coal-fired pizza is my jam.

Dave Portnoy
