[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2462975, member: 58386"] Excellent point . Trump says that he's going to bring back coal. Just in the past 6 years in my state alone 22000 megawatts of coal generated power have gone off line and replaced with 22000 megawatts of shale gas generated power. This according to PJM Interconnection the power grid that covers the Mid-Atlantic region. Of the 14 states they manage 8 have deregulated wholesale power markets and the remaining 6 on are their way there. In the 8 deregulated markets the lumbering old coal fired plants many 50 years old and older simply cannot compete in those markets and. are one by one going off line In addition the new plants are located in the areas that allow the grid combined with the latest technology to manage heavy demand much more quickly and efficiently. Ok so "Trump Digs Coal" All he'll be doing is hauling out of the mine and piling it up outside. The return of manufacturing ? I'll believe that when Trumps brings his own manufacturing operations back from the cheap overseas labor markets where he outsourced them. And even if an unexpectedly large share of high tech manufacturing jobs were to return it would not have much of an impact on jobs number given that they simply do not employ a large number of production floor level workers. And given the high skill and education levels required many companies would have to bring those workers along with them and we all know that the nation's attitude toward emigrant workers borders on open hostility.
