I heard, in passing on NPR this AM, that Peabody Energy and Cloud Peak (two massive coal companies) were urging the tRump misAdministration to reverse their plan to pull out of the Paris Accords.
WHAT!?!?!
They want a seat at the energy table in international negotiations, not to be outside the window watching the rest of the world move away from their rapine practice.
And they want (presumably government money and) research into ways to reduce coal’s carbon dioxide footprint (good luck wit dat).
Here’s an Independent article:

I was under the impression that tRump had already pulled us out of Paris, but I guess it’s still under discussion.
Funny how a couple of coal companies (not all of them) are pulling for the same thing that many Enviros are (and it does not reflect badly on those Enviros, BTW).
