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.

    coal is not cool

  2. Jake Mocci on June 27, 2022 at 9:43 pm

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

  3. Chriss Taylor on June 27, 2022 at 9:43 pm

    not much about the mine and the machines

  4. #Incredible-world on June 27, 2022 at 9:44 pm

    Such a useful and informative video

  5. Ryan Robichaud on June 27, 2022 at 9:44 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.

    Trees love coal plants

    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

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

  9. Rush Mull on June 27, 2022 at 9:49 pm

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

  10. Red Richard on June 27, 2022 at 9:49 pm

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

  11. Ryan 8191 on June 27, 2022 at 9:51 pm

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

  12. Brandon Carter on June 27, 2022 at 9:52 pm

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

  13. ah yes on June 27, 2022 at 9:53 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.

  14. Swamy Mekala on June 27, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Plz I am coming 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  15. Wade Saxton on June 27, 2022 at 9:59 pm

    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.

    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.

  17. Triple 675 on June 27, 2022 at 10:04 pm

    Dig more coal.

  18. Andromeda Galaxy on June 27, 2022 at 10:05 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

    NARM is amazing!

  21. Fishing Bob on June 27, 2022 at 10:12 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.

  22. ODIS MAGOTIS on June 27, 2022 at 10:12 pm

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

    Climate change: Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.

  24. Edward on June 27, 2022 at 10:13 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).

  25. mike grant on June 27, 2022 at 10:14 pm

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

  26. Jeff alves on June 27, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    Or buy from USA they are financially Europe security from they public safe.

    Yeah, no. Coal is unnecessary.

  30. MontanaMac on June 27, 2022 at 10:21 pm

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

  31. LOC USTE on June 27, 2022 at 10:21 pm

    that a lie why we paid carbon tax because goverm,ent say so !we are near end of civilisation they will destroy with their bomb and nuke why not paid tax by how many nuke you have? that is equity! many country will not paid that tax, climates changes is a NATURAL cycles of our planet! i hope this time they will dissapears of this planet with all their nuke USA Russia China and all nuclear country should paid the whole tax not the peoples MONEY profit must dissapears too we are all equal

  35. LeglessLex on June 27, 2022 at 10:25 pm

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

  36. richardincm on June 27, 2022 at 10:25 pm

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

  37. RELAXADO on June 27, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    Using less electricity is the best first step to using less coal

  38. Jeremy Pitchford on June 27, 2022 at 10:27 pm

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

  39. J w on June 27, 2022 at 10:27 pm

    What a hack job

  40. newsmthjoke on June 27, 2022 at 10:28 pm

    less than she breathes out everyday from her piehole

  41. Killroy on June 27, 2022 at 10:29 pm

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

  42. Mike Ulm on June 27, 2022 at 10:31 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.

  43. Tom Keppler on June 27, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    Climate change is the biggest joke ever

  44. Swamy Mekala on June 27, 2022 at 10:34 pm

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

  46. #Incredible-world on June 27, 2022 at 10:37 pm

    Wow

  47. Tyler Jones on June 27, 2022 at 10:37 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

  48. Chris on June 27, 2022 at 10:38 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!"

  49. Glenn Nile on June 27, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    Destroying a countries economy reduces our ability to switch to Green energy.

  50. Tom Ondulich on June 27, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    this was just a climate change pr stunt
