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.

    Wow

    Since this video, Coal has been on a major decline. It’s just not as economical as wind and natural gas

  4. Jeremy Pitchford on May 15, 2022 at 12:19 am

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

    Climate change🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

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

  8. LeglessLex on May 15, 2022 at 12:20 am

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

  9. Juliusz Kociński on May 15, 2022 at 12:22 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

  10. Tom Ondulich on May 15, 2022 at 12:24 am

    this was just a climate change pr stunt

  11. Chriss Taylor on May 15, 2022 at 12:26 am

    not much about the mine and the machines

  12. Tom Keppler on May 15, 2022 at 12:26 am

    Climate change is the biggest joke ever

  13. Ryan 8191 on May 15, 2022 at 12:26 am

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

  14. Edward on May 15, 2022 at 12:27 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).

  15. Chris Phillips on May 15, 2022 at 12:27 am

    Y’all be stupit seewamsain

  16. Brandon Carter on May 15, 2022 at 12:27 am

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

  17. Ryan Robichaud on May 15, 2022 at 12:28 am

    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.

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

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

  20. Andromeda Galaxy on May 15, 2022 at 12:34 am

    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

  21. Red Richard on May 15, 2022 at 12:37 am

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

  22. #Incredible-world on May 15, 2022 at 12:37 am

    Such a useful and informative video

  23. Wade Saxton on May 15, 2022 at 12:38 am

    If the Climate Change claims that have been made were/are correct…. Then it’s too late. A “carbon budget” is a an arbitrary & abstract concept created as a mechanism to control energy.
    The people that hate coal, oil & gas will never win the argument until they can present another viable option. So far the only way they can make their alternatives viable is to increase the costs of carbon fuels to ridiculous levels that make the “eco” energies cost competitive. However that increase in costs has a domino effect that shuts down society.

  24. Burns Lake on May 15, 2022 at 12:38 am

    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.

    3:30 why is the moon so big

  27. ah yes on May 15, 2022 at 12:44 am

    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.

  28. richardincm on May 15, 2022 at 12:46 am

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

  29. Swamy Mekala on May 15, 2022 at 12:47 am

    Plz I am coming 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  30. Brad Loewen on May 15, 2022 at 12:47 am

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

  31. Mike Ulm on May 15, 2022 at 12:47 am

    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.

  32. Peaceful Citizen on May 15, 2022 at 12:47 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 😶

  36. NWPaul72 on May 15, 2022 at 12:56 am

    Yeah, no. Coal is unnecessary.

    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!"

  41. Fishing Bob on May 15, 2022 at 1:00 am

    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.

  42. Tyler Jones on May 15, 2022 at 1:02 am

    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

  43. Thomas Just on May 15, 2022 at 1:04 am

    It’s a complex issue to solve, on the one hand, global warming is happening, its established science, on the other, coal is the cheapest source of fuel, how do we replace it? with what that is economic? solar is promising but seems far off still

  44. MontanaMac on May 15, 2022 at 1:05 am

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

  45. Rush Mull on May 15, 2022 at 1:08 am

    I moved to reno jct or Wright Wyoming, and worked for Daniel’s construction building all this 79 to 81
