The Coal Industry in the USA has been nothing short of stupid.

They are trying to forever make coal the answer for the USA energy when they could be taking their technology global and actually do something worthwhile for the USA.


China's coal industry remains the world's largest and still arguably the most dangerous, but last year's drop in the official death count was the most dramatic in recent years.
"I have to say that I've been surprised at the speed with which things have improved," said Tim Wright, a China coal mining expert and professor of East Asian studies at Britain's University of Sheffield.
Based on previous official reports, mining deaths are down by nearly half since 2009, while production has climbed by over 23 percent. Fatalities have fallen by nearly two-thirds in five years....

China has improved it's mining environment, but, never once on a global basis has the coal miners of West Virginia looked beyond their homeland coal mines for wealth.

WHY?

It couldn't be because Georgie made them into coal warriors for the energy of the USA while he pushed China to make the WEALTH Wall Street was looking for, was it?

Basically, when the USA mining industry should have moved on to other marketable products that the USA actually needs, they were fighting carbon restrictions on smoke stakes because Wall Street hates USA labor costs.

Besides that, USA labor should only be teaching the Afghans to mine their own country. China should never be mining for their own interests in Afghanistan. The citizens of any country are always the losers to these industries. No one invests in training labor or paying the cost for OSHA standards.

THE MODEL we are witnessing with Karzai is CLASSIC. The leaders of any country worth the attention of Wall Street is given enough personal wealth in kickbacks to make it worth the while to harness the military to make it work for the wealth of Wall Street. Did I say that right?

All one has to do is realize what occurred with Iraq. Who profited and who lied? Do I actually have to write this? 

Journalists believe Karzai? Hagel doesn't.
