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.

    Try living without coal. I challenge you and your big city life.

  2. Brandon Carter on March 25, 2022 at 11:13 pm

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

  3. ah yes on March 25, 2022 at 11:13 pm

    They’ll never admit it, but coal is actually one of the cleanest sources of energy available. Also, far too valuable and useful to ever get rid of.

    What a hack job

  5. Mike Ulm on March 25, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Climate change has been happening b4 man. Our carbon footprint should be limited to a minimum but let’s focus on places like India Pakistan Russia China and those who don’t filter and manage their carbon. No we attack our own people who are already following EPA laws.

    Climate change my foot 👎👎👎👎 leftist

    Goldenberg should go back to Israel, I’m tired of these people.

    the guy on the hill talking to the reporter is in denial

    Yup its time to buy some magic mushrooms and go on a personal journey

  11. Ryan Robichaud on March 25, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    Why do they have Sachs commenting? He’s an economist not a climate expert…Maybe one of the most pretentious 5 min video clips I have even watched. Pure "elites" looking down on normal people for making a living and providing a product the world demands.

  12. Tom Keppler on March 25, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    Climate change is the biggest joke ever

    I loved the lady from the Chamber-of-Commerce, who thought that humans emit carbon-MONoxide, should surely have been Dioxide ?

  15. WAL_DC-6B on March 25, 2022 at 11:25 pm

    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!

  16. sdm115 on March 25, 2022 at 11:25 pm

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

  17. Fishing Bob on March 25, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    Climate change has been so solidly proven scientifically, that they had to remove signs from Glaciers they “proved” would melt, but never did. They have no clue what they’re talking about, so let’s get on already.

  18. Nieve Rainmaker on March 25, 2022 at 11:27 pm

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

  19. Juliusz Kociński on March 25, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    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

  20. SoulTaken on March 25, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    3:30 why is the moon so big

  21. Meat Chief on March 25, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    Interviewer: "Mind if we talk about your coal company, sir"
    Man: "Not at all"
    Interviewer: "What’s your company’s position on climate change?"
    Man: "Stop the tape!"

  24. John Ross on March 25, 2022 at 11:34 pm

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

  27. Tyler Jones on March 25, 2022 at 11:37 pm

    Still powers the country as well as built this country and gives hard working men jobs and they make great money doing it….. I hate government bs

  28. D12CITY on March 25, 2022 at 11:37 pm

    coal is not cool

  29. Ryan 8191 on March 25, 2022 at 11:39 pm

    Was it humanity that caused the thousands upon thousands of climate change events over the last several billion years

  30. Doctor Kankle on March 25, 2022 at 11:40 pm

  31. Chriss Taylor on March 25, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    not much about the mine and the machines

  32. Chris Phillips on March 25, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    Y’all be stupit seewamsain

  33. Red Richard on March 25, 2022 at 11:43 pm

    It’s -23F below zero.More coal in the furnace please.

  34. Tom Ondulich on March 25, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    this was just a climate change pr stunt

  35. sidhu prakash on March 25, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    3:20 TRUE.

  36. Burns Lake on March 25, 2022 at 11:47 pm

    Emissions from coal is a fraction in comparison to a volcano. But to get a better understanding of how it affects us is to imagine a camp fire that you are concerned about the smoke. Wind can and will change. You have to make considerations. But coal is probably making the electricity to power your computer.

  37. Brad Loewen on March 25, 2022 at 11:50 pm

    Our coal consumption has little to no effect on climate change. Developing countries are the real main sources of pollution

  38. #Incredible-India on March 25, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    Wow

  39. TIM BO on March 25, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    Coal keeps the lights on

  40. Peaceful Citizen on March 25, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    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 😶

  41. Noah Fain on March 25, 2022 at 11:54 pm

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

  42. Edward on March 25, 2022 at 11:56 pm

    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).

  43. Andromeda Galaxy on March 25, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    the dislikes must have been higher than the likes before youtube did away with the dislikes.
    im moving to Gillette soon and i hope to get a welding job at the coalmines. FJB

  44. Kurt Pochert on March 26, 2022 at 12:00 am

    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.

  45. mike grant on March 26, 2022 at 12:00 am

    ‘Climate change’ is complete and total bullsh*t.

  46. Jeremy Pitchford on March 26, 2022 at 12:01 am

    Haha carbon dioxide is heavier than air so how does it make it in the ozone answer it doesn’t

  47. Swamy Mekala on March 26, 2022 at 12:05 am

    Plz I am coming 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  48. Goran Svraka on March 26, 2022 at 12:06 am

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

  49. LeglessLex on March 26, 2022 at 12:07 am

    Humanity never stood a chance. Time and time again the corrupt rise and the people suffer for it. Money power and greed
