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.

    Opening with a political boast about that horrible weasel with a glib tongue and a handsome face. Blurrrk.

    1 ton of wood makes 5700lbs of carbon dioxide emissions. 2000lbs more than coal. This one stat raises more questions than answersb

  6. James Hovey on February 27, 2021 at 9:23 pm

    Hows that coal working out? I heard you might have had a couple layoffs.

  7. Boofy Red man on February 27, 2021 at 9:24 pm

    How many draglines

  8. Ozzy Fan 72 on February 27, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    Effing liberals and their climate change. Tree hugging bs

  9. ed mctug on February 27, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    Full Speed Ahead, lite all boilers !

  10. BuncherMunch on February 27, 2021 at 9:28 pm

    So 2000 pounds of coal magically make 3700 pounds of co2 …. might wanna check your math

  11. Just Mike on February 27, 2021 at 9:28 pm

    America needs to be energy independent and we were for four years . 2018 to 2021…

  12. David Analyst on February 27, 2021 at 9:28 pm

    This isn’t talking about coal, this is the guarding btching about global warming. Will you ever stop your btching, Karen?

  14. Daniel Z on February 27, 2021 at 9:31 pm

    Shut up just wanna see mines!

  15. Doreana Bland on February 27, 2021 at 9:33 pm

    We talk about emissions but yet our earth is greener than centuries ago… photo proof.
    Don’t worry the left have a 2030 agenda I think some of us are dealing with it rather than climate cooling.

  16. haikea intiaani on February 27, 2021 at 9:35 pm

    its a shame its so polluting it is very aviable energy

  17. G Gem on February 27, 2021 at 9:36 pm

    I dont trust any old man that dies his hair

  18. Sharon Smith on February 27, 2021 at 9:38 pm

    USA—–GET A GRIP!!!!

  19. Master on February 27, 2021 at 9:38 pm

    When that mine is empty that big hole in the ground should turn into a lithium ion battery storage facility and have solar or wind above the facility?

  20. Dan on February 27, 2021 at 9:39 pm

    I watched up until the left leaning socialists commented.

  21. frank defreze on February 27, 2021 at 9:39 pm

    It’s all political

  22. Ray on February 27, 2021 at 9:41 pm

    Anyone visiting this vid while reading “Gray Mountain” by John Grisham?

  23. toddwatler on February 27, 2021 at 9:42 pm

    Texas could use some coal plants right now.

  24. Potato Chips on February 27, 2021 at 9:44 pm

    Start using coal on massive starships to use towards space exploration it would be a huge industry & would make America number one when it came to world domination.

  25. plane iron on February 27, 2021 at 9:44 pm

    how do 2000 lbs create 3700 lbs must be that new math 2+2 is 9

  26. Ted Hill on February 27, 2021 at 9:45 pm

    I believe we got railroaded

  27. stnicholas54 on February 27, 2021 at 9:45 pm

    00.30 – that coal seam. Must be 70 or 80 feet thick ! Enormous amount of coal.

  28. Cliff Stokes on February 27, 2021 at 9:48 pm

    Coal is still more friendly for the environment than battery production and the waste from battery’s

  29. Denise Shephard on February 27, 2021 at 9:49 pm

    It used to be man power but now it’s only machines coal is killing cattle and destroying the land the people owned

  30. C j Corallo on February 27, 2021 at 9:50 pm

    Came to see the world’s largest mine, ended up seeing the world’s biggest self-righteous crybaby uneducated leftist windbags pushing an ideology they know nothing about. Leave it up to the guardian and all other leftist garbage sites to politicize absolutely everything.

  32. garywaggoner1953 on February 27, 2021 at 9:54 pm

    I’m curious if the reporter and the company that funded her spent any time in China asking the same questions? China is the worlds largest coal producing nation, 3550 ton in 2018. India is second. The USA is third. Did the reporter speak with anyone in India?

    Corrected name of this vid, "A tree hugging climate control nut job ambushes hard working coal workers." You’re welcome. Move along.

  35. Farmer04 on February 27, 2021 at 9:56 pm

    Please explain to me how 2,000 lbs of coal produces 3,700 lbs of carbon dioxide 🤦 go back to high school people

  36. james on February 27, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    This isnt where north America’s coal or shale fuel comes from. It comes from many places.

  37. Peter Rowe on February 27, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    The Guardian represents the global climate change activists who fail to recognize that the US unlike the UK or the EU for that matter has reduced its carbon footprint which they have failed miserably to do so. Virtue signaling at it worst.

  38. Craig Alchin on February 27, 2021 at 9:58 pm

    Should not have let you grub so called journalist on site

  39. Tim French on February 27, 2021 at 9:59 pm

    I thought I’d see a big coal mine. Not a bunch of tree huggers crying

  40. Wythe Trumpet on February 27, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    Climate change is a farce. Coal fired power plants have electrostatic precipatators and bag houses. Except for boiler start up and shutdown the stack is clean. Coal fired power plants today are totally different than power plants 50 years ago. Ask the people in Texas if they could have used 6 to 8 more coal fired power plants in February 2021. Common sense must prevail not emotions driven by a lack of scientific and industrial facts. Remember Al Gore is a politician and Bill Gates writes computer code.

  41. Bruno marcs on February 27, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    People don’t have any idea of where there electricity comes from! Ask anyone you know, most don’t have a clue. Coal fired power plants. The coal is used to heat the water, make steam to power a turbine. 56% of the power in this country is derived from coal. 12 million tons annually is mined. Most plants slated to close in the next few years and we have 350 years worth of coal left.

  42. topjob1000 on February 27, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    There is no such thing as climate change weather has been changing from the millions of years this is all politics and a money thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. John Quest on February 27, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    there is NO evidence of man made climate change, it is all mann made.

  44. Lary West on February 27, 2021 at 10:03 pm

    F**k Carbon…. wanted to see about a coal mine!!

  45. mark booth on February 27, 2021 at 10:03 pm

    A question for Julie Simon what planet are you from ? …..Another question for Julie Simon who is your hairdresser ha ha ? Another question for Julie Simon do you understand the consequences of smokin Magic mushrooms and tooting the old Angel Dust you got to know its bad for you, just give it up and get yourself straight woman !

  46. Ted Longings on February 27, 2021 at 10:03 pm

    Nothing better than living in the Midwest, growing up directly next to a giant coal fired power plant , and seeing thousands raise families and power their homes off cheap coal. Absolutely harmless!!!

  47. SuperSameu on February 27, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    he cudnt answer the quetion about climat change ha ha

  48. John Hutchinson on February 27, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    The global warming arguement is all BS. These enviromentalists are out to destroy the greatest economy the world has ever seen. Thank goodness for President trump but unfortunately these crettons never give up.

  49. Zekespeaks on February 27, 2021 at 10:09 pm

    This video started with "gotcha" type questions, which is a disgusting tactic to drive a story line. The makers of this should be ashamed, but people who do this kind of "reporting" have no shame. They only have a political agenda.
