More garbage from His Flatulence

Although much is known about the risks of coal mining to miners, little research has been done on its health impacts on local communities, not least because of attempts by the coal industry to hinder such work. Mining companies and trade organizations have sued for access to the e-mails of academics researching mountaintop removal, and have fought to keep peer-reviewed studies from being used in court.

In other news, a Republican Congressman has drafted legislation to end all cancer research in the US, stating "well we don't know for sure that cancer is bad, do we?"
 


It seems a bit asinine to stop mining coal when coal is still being used thus meaning the US has to then buy the coal from outside the USA while transferring jobs abroad.

What countries are the largest sources of U.S coal imports?

In 2016, the United States imported the most coal from Colombia—about 7.89 million short tons. This was about 80% of total U.S. coal imports of about 9.85 million short tons in 2016. Canada was the second-largest source of U.S. coal imports in 2016—about 1.08 million short tons or about (approximately 11% of total U.S. coal imports). The rest of U.S. coal imports in 2016 came from 13 other countries.


The US nonetheless remains a major exporter of coal.

The same can be said about Heroine. I trust you wish to preserve those jobs too and not allow prohibition to continue forcing the over-prescribed and Indian-given codeine addicts to import from abroad, right?

I agree that making America great is a worthwhile proposition... I just think you have some extremely strange ideas of what is "great".
 
So much stupidity so little time....

Well, not really, other than it is probably still better to snort Heroine over coal...WP post is closer to the usual GIGO.

If WP have bothered to look at the larger picture he would have noticed that the US exports 6X as much coal as it imports. The tiny amount of imports have to do with simple economic efficiency factors at certain locations.

In 2016, the United States exported 60.27 million short tons of coal to at least 42 countries. The following list shows the top five destinations of U.S. coal exports, export amount (million short tons), and share of total U.S. coal exports in 2016:

The Netherlands—10.16—17%
Brazil—6.94—12%
India—5.53—9%
Canada—5.01—8%
Japan—4.56—8%
Total—32.19—53%

Note: The ports in the Netherlands are major sources for the transshipment of coal to other European nations. Therefore, a large portion of this volume may be ultimately be consumed by other countries in Europe.

Yeah, it makes little sense to split out the EU into individual nations for the purposes of such statistics. Stuff unloaded from bulk carriers at Rotterdam is no more likely to be entirely consumed in The Netherlands than stuff unloaded at Portland is to be consumed entirely in Oregon.

Rotterdam is one of the major ports receiving goods for Europe so they could go anywhere. However depending on the shipping terms the final paperwork will generally be on the documentation with Rotterdam (and possibly others) on the Letters of Credit.
 
Like I said...GIGO....

I think you need an <fill in the blank>. :), as you seem to have not comprehended your first sentence.

"It seems a bit asinine to stop mining coal when coal is still being used thus meaning the US has to then buy the coal from outside the USA while transferring jobs abroad."
