There is no such thing as “clean coal” unless you want to pay twice as much to use it than it would otherwise cost, and it’s already more expensive than natural gas. Every time Trump or this new Trump International Alliance says anything about “clean coal” they should be called out. It’s as real as the Easter Bunny.
I hear they are bringing on the Buggy Whip and Horseshoe Makers Alliance™ as well.
Trump, leading us into a golden 19th Century!
He alone is so stupid as to consider this.
I wonder how many tens of millions of dollars will be pumped into this “alliance” from tax payers with the end result being a few commercials run during the election that cost a few thousand dollars. Trump, being the terrible negotiator he is, probably won’t even get a good cut of grift on this one.
Yeah, it’s not enough that we give the pricks tax breaks and subsidies that in monetary value could feed every child in America 3 times a day, now we have to give the shitstains an “alliance”, too.
I suppose I should go radio silent for a while. 
Why not a “public-private partnership”?
Between America’s dying coal industry, and a GOP hell-bent on gutting school-lunch programs.
It would be a perfect synergy: Poor kids eat coal; Peabody recovers from bankruptcy!
A clear a “win-win”.
Good news for that possible “Edison Wax Cylnder Alliance”! And John McCain, who’s dying anyway.
The Fossil Fuel Alliance Mascot
ETA. Let’s also bring back the burning of peat and cow dung. As long as there’s liberal tears to be drunk.
A thunderstorm “derecho”?
Don’t fix the problem. Don’t use knowledge and science to bring about solutions - throw the money at advertising!
This is The Onion, right? Is this The Onion?
Tosh irasdad! You employ the little tykes as coal breakers then they can learn a 21st century skill AND pay for their gruel.
Sure, why not? Then we can put lead back in gasoline and paint, and asbestos back in insulation. I can’t wait to start douching with Listerine.
does anyone remember a fun commercial from the Bush era where they dressed an actor up as a piece of coal with 70’s style jogging shorts and had him run around a neighborhood showing how healthy and clean coal was?
Actually, Baron Trump is attempting to turn the Earth into Giedi Prime.
A bit OT, but the brave and stalwart and patriotic Republican Party Senators and Congresspersons did not bring up the Kelly Sadler/John McCain fiasco at today’s meeting with Trump.
The entire Republican Party has been Gohmertized. It’s kind of like a $29.95 Earl Scheib paint job for you car, but with stupidity.
Not that I am casting asparaguses on anyone’s character, of course.
Si, todo derecho. But it’s rolling over right now and I’ve never seen such a polite, well-brought up thunderstorm. Sitting here in my office, window wide open, heavy rain falling just about straight down, distant thunder but nothing threatening.
Great! I can’t wait for the manual typewriters and buggy whip alliance.
