World's biggest mine: Inside US coal

World's biggest mine: Inside US coal

Barack Obama’s pledge to cut carbon emissions has not stopped North Antelope Rochelle mine in Wyoming. In fact, production is booming – and climate change is off the agenda. The Guardian’s Suzanne Goldenberg gets a rare look inside the biggest coal mine in the world.

    Don’t destroy other peoples jobs

  2. Tom Keppler on October 3, 2021 at 10:43 am

    Climate change is the biggest joke ever

  3. T Town on October 3, 2021 at 10:43 am

    Keep the coal going

  4. Deploracle on October 3, 2021 at 10:44 am

    Stop burning the coal and most of the plants and trees on Earth will suffocate.

    1:30 LOL

  6. TIM BO on October 3, 2021 at 10:45 am

    Coal keeps the lights on

    3:30 why is the moon so big

    "They’re just doing it for their bottom line." Sort of like every other company in this country. There’s no other industry that would be told not to make money, or to lose money because their product damages the environment.

    well seen the yanks are not taking global warming too seriously.

  10. G R on October 3, 2021 at 10:51 am

    Just 1 ton of this coal produces 3700lbs or carbon dyoxide???

  11. Brandon Carter on October 3, 2021 at 10:52 am

    Don’t they have to mine rare earth minerals for all the EV batteries?

  12. Life is a Beach on October 3, 2021 at 10:54 am

    Climate change is going to happen regardless of coal mines.
    The sun is getting bigger and hotter so the earth will eventually turn into a hot charcoal.
    Wanna save nature? Uhmmm don’t have kids. Humans create pollution to the planet but like I said, humans or no humans, earth is not going to last forever.
    Look at China, they pollute and populate more than any other country in the world, but not a single word is said 😶

    When Mt. St. Hellen erupted it negated any reduction of CO2 produced by man. Volcanos, earthquakes, and the Sun itself are by far the greatest contributors to Climate Change. There were glaciers over Michigan 10,000 yr ago and Man had nothing to do with their retreat. Yes, responsible use of our Earth’s resources is in order, but major contributors by Man toward climate change is not based on any sound science.

  14. D S on October 3, 2021 at 10:57 am

    stop with the climate change BS – one volcano eruption puts out more carbon then man has produced since the beginning of our existence. Get a new pyramid scheme – climate change is BS!

  15. sdm115 on October 3, 2021 at 10:58 am

    Climate change huh
    I wanted to see coal mining not ur climate change bs

  16. sidhu prakash on October 3, 2021 at 10:58 am

    3:20 TRUE.

  17. WAL_DC-6B on October 3, 2021 at 11:00 am

    The real enemy of coal mining in the U.S. are not the politicians or elites that speak out against it. Instead, it’s the economic use of natural gas to generate electricity. Wonder how this "world’s biggest mine: Inside US coal" is doing now. Nobody seems to know!

  18. GoneBamboo on October 3, 2021 at 11:01 am

    Global warming is a Boogeyman invented by global elites in the letters of Rome. Since the Grand Solar Minimum is now on progress, it has been changed to ‘climate change’. People will be freezing to death on the mini ice-age, few cultures have existed long enough to remember. Why is China buying food like it’s going out of style?

  19. StereoSpace on October 3, 2021 at 11:02 am

    Who didn’t know this "news" piece was gonna be a hit piece on the coal industry?

  20. 유리지니TVᆞ333movieᆞ on October 3, 2021 at 11:03 am

    이렇게..

  21. Bull Miller on October 3, 2021 at 11:11 am

    How exactly does 2000 lbs of coal produce 3700 lbs of emissions?

  22. Goran Svraka on October 3, 2021 at 11:12 am

    3:42 "I dont think climate change is real" and you can see her balding lol

  23. Joshua 1212 on October 3, 2021 at 11:13 am

    THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO SEE THE MINE NOT A CLIMATE CHANGE REPORT?! ANYWAYS WE DON’T NEED FOSSIL FUELS, GAS ,OIL ,COAL, YES WE MAY NEED COAL TO MAKE STEEL BUT WE DON’T NEED IT IN OUR POWER PLANTS WE CAN DESIGN EVERYTHING TO RUN ON HHO TWO PARTS HYDROGEN ONE PART OXYGEN IT’S SO EASY TO SPLIT THE ATOMS TO MAKE HYDROGEN OR OXYGEN AND IT’S ALL MADE WITH JUST WATER YOU CAN DO IT AT HOME WITH COMMON HOUSEHOLD ITEMS CHECK OUT THE STAN MEYER VIDEO HE WAS MURDERED BECAUSE HE MADE A CAR THAT RUNS ON WATER

  24. J w on October 3, 2021 at 11:13 am

    What a hack job

  25. Paul Hayden on October 3, 2021 at 11:15 am

    questions
    1: Do you care if your children and grandchildren have a livable world and have energy, too?
    2: Are you willing to live Without air conditioning – for your children and grandchildren?

  26. Noah Fain on October 3, 2021 at 11:15 am

    What a rude lady. Not the video I was looking for…

  27. Tom Ondulich on October 3, 2021 at 11:15 am

    this was just a climate change pr stunt

  28. Dynamic Solution on October 3, 2021 at 11:17 am

    So 1 ton of coal produces 3,700 lbs of waste/carbon gas..sounds like liberal logic.

  29. Tau1s on October 3, 2021 at 11:18 am

    here i com to see some cool machines not some old had speak about how coal is bad and so on (also if they wherent mining it it someone else would)

  30. Edward on October 3, 2021 at 11:18 am

    How do you calculate CO2 emissions from coal?
    Carbon dioxide emissions per ton of coal were determined by multiplying heat content times the carbon coefficient times the fraction oxidized times the ratio of the molecular weight of carbon dioxide to that of carbon (44/12).

  31. SwissExcavators on October 3, 2021 at 11:18 am

    If we are the problem, why we are not in the ice age anymore?

  32. Doctor Kankle on October 3, 2021 at 11:20 am

    Jeffery Sachs is such a scumbag… makes me want to puke

  34. Jim Bo on October 3, 2021 at 11:20 am

    The sky is falling…..

  35. Meat Chief on October 3, 2021 at 11:22 am

    tree hugging report

  36. Lester Gillis on October 3, 2021 at 11:23 am

    This presumes that "climate change" is caused by man made industry.
    What if it’s caused more by variable solar output ? ?

  37. BigBusiness on October 3, 2021 at 11:25 am

    Al Gore said we’d be dead by 2013 from climate change lol…What a sham!

  38. Martin Ulig on October 3, 2021 at 11:26 am

    This is a quarry, why do they keep calling it “a mine”?

  39. flyin polack on October 3, 2021 at 11:27 am

    1:42 complete BS

  40. Stan Keebler on October 3, 2021 at 11:29 am

    Climate change? You mean chem. Trails… To thaw south pole….

  41. Russ mt on October 3, 2021 at 11:30 am

    1:35 " just1 ton of this coal releases 3700 lbs of carbon dioxide emissions " how does that work.

  42. Nieve Rainmaker on October 3, 2021 at 11:32 am

    Scrawly today fellas, sleekone’s on a yacht detail with submarines

  43. Sean Watts on October 3, 2021 at 11:32 am

    Obama was the easiest politician to buy in world history.

  44. Danny Deshler on October 3, 2021 at 11:33 am

    They cry and whine about coal but have no answer on what to use to replace it…And don’t say wind and solar, they aren’t even remotely close to being able to keep up with the power output of coal. Technology has not advanced to the point of eliminating coal, we need to work on cleaning up the emissions from the coal boilers, that will be a way to keep what we need and help the environment.

  45. Brandon Dobschutz on October 3, 2021 at 11:33 am

    Bait and switch journalism

  46. Commander Doom on October 3, 2021 at 11:34 am

    The planets gonna change. We are still coming to the end of this ice age

  47. Kody Oakenshield on October 3, 2021 at 11:34 am

    Trash video

  48. Juliusz Kociński on October 3, 2021 at 11:35 am

    Trying to be eco-friendly myself… This is just misleading, when I seek info about emission I get it, but I came here to see operation of a biggest coal mine… And there’s none of it :v

  49. STARMAN on October 3, 2021 at 11:36 am

    Wow I come to see the mine and what do I get? Politics.
    So you want to shut down coal use, but you also don’t want to put the money and effort into alternatives. Pointless!

  50. W W on October 3, 2021 at 11:38 am

    When the tough questions get asked, turn off the camera 🤣🤣 coal is only one problem that causes pollution. You could stop coal use tomorrow and the effect stopping coal use and mining would be very negligible.
