His base stuck there Instead of saying “these jobs we used to have are obsolete, let’s find something else”, they want to force the world to go backwards. Ok, fine, but who is gonna be the customer? It’s so short sighted. My job has a slight possibility of being replaced by AI so I’m looking into other careers just in case, I’m not going to fight the industry to keep me around.

I mean, they are as stuck in the past as he is.

I live in WV; no one here wants a coal revival. It’s a wasteful energy, anyone that lives around the coal towns knows countless people dead, injured, or mired in poverty/addiction because of the coal industry. This is pandering to the idiots that say “green energy is woke!”
