11. Coal kills

It kills the miners
It kills the air, the land, and the waters around where the coal is mined
It kills fish in waters hundreds of miles of where it is burned through acid rain and heavy metals
It kills Red Spruce on other vegetation with acid fogs and acid rain
It kills people with the particles and toxins admitted into the atmosphere when it is burned and
then inhaled into the lungs
It is killing the supportive capacity of the planet with greenhouse gases
It is more expensive, dirty, and harder to handle than gas
The technology for clean green and renewable energy sources are here right now.

Trump is doing this just to be a prick and he knows he has little time left too.
