"If you want to truly understand what's happening in the energy industry, the best thing to do is to travel deep into the heart of American coal country, to Carbon County, Wyoming (yes, that's a real place).

The state produces most coal in the US, and Carbon County has long been known (and was named) for its extensive coal deposits. But the state's mines have been shuttering over the past few years, causing hundreds of people to lose their jobs in 2016 alone.

Now, these coal miners are finding hope, offered from an unlikely place:

A Chinese wind-turbine maker wants to retrain these American workers to become wind-farm technicians. It's the perfect metaphor for the massive shift happening in the global energy markets."

It would help MAGA if our government would do something like this. Instead we are just promising they will get good jobs back in the coal mine while we take away their healthcare and cut education budgets. Oops!, better move this to NSR
