  1. Natural gas is cleaner than coal, and cheaper…which is what is really driving the move away from dirty Indiana coal. That, and the cost of properly managing coal ash, which is a toxic byproduct.

    Shouldn’t Republicans understand a market shift based on economics?

  2. It’s easy for them to say that they’ll keep coal when they don’t understand the industry, economics and regulations. Trump did the same thing.

  3. Unless you are doing business in India or China and the government provides the financing, there is no multi-national bank that will finance a coal project. Coal is dead because the long term return on investments are not certain. Tax dollars subsidizing coal projects is the only way this will work.

    Where do “small government” Republicans get the money to pay for these kind of subsidies?

    These candidates talking points all sounds link willful ignorance or outright lies to me.

  4. All aboard the Trump train! Talk about “penny-wise and pound-foolish.”

    As a result of how these candidates adopt MAGA talk and embrace extreme right-wing policies, none will get the vote of this life-long Republican (until 2016).

    1. The Tea Party gang turned me away a little earlier. They were the original “burn it down” Rs (and IMO led the way for MAGA and today’s “hang Pence and kill the Speaker” bunch).

      You’ve got to stand FOR something sensible and defensible to get my vote. “Keep burning coal” is neither.

  5. This is silly. We have some of the best universities in the country and virtually none of the students stay here; it’s not because we don’t have enough coal power.
