Give Him Coal

Trump needs coal in his stocking this year for making the Palestinians so angry in the holy lands of the Middle East. Better yet make him spend his holiday vacation in coal country and see how great his kind of energy is for people. He is the only one that pulled out of the save the world climate agreement. He is a jerk. The battle over coal usually is all about climate change and pollution. Sure the stock market is up and people who invest are getting some money but at what cost? Corporate profits haven’t given most people any better wages and Trump’s de-regulation is letting companies do all sorts of terrible things just for profit.

Trump needs to know that coal doesn’t just create problems in the air when you burn it. Coal also creates problems when you take it out of the earth too. When it is taken out of the earth it creates a by-product called coal slurry that is a mixture of liquids and solids created by a coal plant. They dump it in large open air pits. Make Trump spend time in front of a slurry and worry about his health. Let him at least play with his new drone he will get for Christmas and let the camera attached to it show him the disgusting lakes of slurry. Better yet let him spend time with the group called Coal River Mountain Watch and learn about the damaging effects of coal everywhere and to everyone.

After coal is mined it is put through a series of chemical washes. The polluted water from this process is called slurry that is dumped into a man- made lake of the scum. In West Virginia in the town of Eunice there is a place called the Brushy Fork Coal Impoundment. Yeah, let’s impound that dog Trump there. It is a 25,000 acre lake filled with a billion gallons of the mucky, slimy sludge called slurry. God did NOT create this mess on his earth. Jerks like Trump did. It is all kept in place by the largest earthen dam in the western hemisphere. The place is surrounded by not so powerful poor people. Yeah, make this billionaire spend some time with poor people for a change.

ALL the water down in the valley where people live is contaminated. They can’t even eat the fish they catch in the waters. Poor people like to hunt and fish for food. The people even stopped getting water from wells in the area because even well water is unsafe. Is these conditions “Making America Great Again” Donald? Let Trump experience the full effects of slurry on the human body. He deserves “slurry syndrome” that is a mixture of diarrhea, rash, some changes in your teeth and increasing frequency of kidney stones. He should deal with that as he takes away healthcare from poor people too.

The slurry giant lakes can leach toxic constituents such as arsenic, lead, manganese, iron, sodium, strontium, and sulfate that ultimately will end up in groundwater. Do you think there was a reason God created COAL TO REMAIN DEEP IN THE EARTH? Donny! We have clean energy capabilities now from the good wind and warming sun now! PROMOTE THAT!

If that dam breaks there could be 8 billion gallons of the slurry all over the place. In Hamlin, WV and other surrounding towns, over 1,000 people would die. In 1972 a similar dam did fail and 4,000 people were homeless with 150 deaths. In 2000 a spill in Kentucky caused 300 million gallons of coal slurry to spread everywhere resulting in 27,000 residents with no good drinking water. God provides us with good drinking water. It is creeps like Trump that think pollution is just fine. There are now about 650 giant coal waste impoundments in our country. Trump wants more of them? Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency is doing nothing and protecting no one.

Yeah, give Trump the coal he likes for Christmas in Jerusalem and let him get hit in the head with rocks during what is supposed to be the peace on earth season of the year.
