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.

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

  2. HOUDINI KONG on December 31, 2022 at 4:42 pm

    😂😂😂😂

    I thought we were going into a coal mine. If ya don’t like coal, don’t use electricity ya jerks.

    Listen to the phraseology. One pound of coal does not make climate change.

  6. Bob Stud on December 31, 2022 at 4:52 pm

    You climate change people are the ones heating the world will all of your hot air and lack of facts.

    The sky is falling. the sky is falling ! Climate change my a** .

  8. LOC USTE on December 31, 2022 at 4:56 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

  9. Edward Costello on December 31, 2022 at 4:57 pm

    We will always need and use coal no green tree hungers will get thier

  10. NWPaul72 on December 31, 2022 at 4:58 pm

    Yeah, no. Coal is unnecessary.

  11. Eric Rotsinger on December 31, 2022 at 5:03 pm

    Funny how Obama says 97% of scientists agree and that is now the truth. Yet no one goes back to the great Al Gore predictions that did not happen. It is really clear that you must follow the party line or be canceled.

  12. Diddley 0651 on December 31, 2022 at 5:04 pm

    Obiden isn’t doing anything, if your worried about Coal, then look to China who has built and put on line Six Coal Burning Electrical Plants.

  13. JohnBoyDeere on December 31, 2022 at 5:04 pm

    "Fighting climate change" What a genuine joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. shannon paplow on December 31, 2022 at 5:07 pm

    So when foreign countries pump billions and billions of tons on CO2 into the air… The Coal industry is the scape Goat of Global Warming… Something wrong with that picture ??????? Bunch of Demorats trying to lie to everyone and so they Follow the MONEY and it ends up in their pockets.

  15. Dhanbad Coal Supplier on December 31, 2022 at 5:08 pm

    contact for indian high burning cokeing coal

    Nuclear plants produce maximum power more than 92% of the year – twice as much as gas and coal and three times more reliable than wind or solar with only a fraction of the pollution. This makes it the most economical and environmentally friendly source of energy. But both the coal and oil companies are multi-billion dollar industries, they won’t take outsourcing quietly.

  17. Whoop D on December 31, 2022 at 5:10 pm

    The lights, microphones, and cameras operated to produce this video were probably all functioned off of coal-based electricity.

  18. Glenn Nile on December 31, 2022 at 5:10 pm

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

  19. Mike B on December 31, 2022 at 5:10 pm

    1:34 OR SO, the climate biotch can’t even identify coal, and appears to be holding a piece of shale or dolomite. You climate communists, give it up you aholes. If you want to have less CO2 emissions, break out the free/nearly free energy discoveries, inventions, and technologies, like catalytically splitting water in a number of ways. The fact you don’t shows you’re a big bunch liars, doing what biotch pressitutes do.

  20. Sean on December 31, 2022 at 5:10 pm

    Interesting. Who do you believe?? Watching from Ontario Canada

  21. simon welch on December 31, 2022 at 5:11 pm

    When you’re in Wyoming this is the place to visit

  22. Rush Mull on December 31, 2022 at 5:11 pm

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

  23. Triple 675 on December 31, 2022 at 5:11 pm

    Dig more coal.

  24. Killroy on December 31, 2022 at 5:16 pm

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

  25. Joseph Stalin on December 31, 2022 at 5:16 pm

    Trees love coal plants

    7 years ago and not much has changed except the climate

  29. Smindlo Collen on December 31, 2022 at 5:20 pm

    we human beings are just Self righteous Hypocrites

  30. Diddley 0651 on December 31, 2022 at 5:22 pm

    Look to All the other countries around the world.

  31. Kifisia Athens on December 31, 2022 at 5:23 pm

    Mr. Professor, how much is the "big brother system" paying you for your expressed views??????????

  32. What about Bob on December 31, 2022 at 5:23 pm

    Carbon-CO2 is our friend. Without carbon dioxide all plants in the ocean and on land will die & so would all life as the food chain would be destroyed! Through out history CO2 levels have been much much higher. Compared to lithium battery production & disposal, coal is clean!

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

  34. Chris Sowers on December 31, 2022 at 5:23 pm

    Climate change is natural and has always existed

  35. Diddley 0651 on December 31, 2022 at 5:24 pm

    If that’s the case then why is it in Michigan it’s been way colder the last ten years.

  36. Diddley 0651 on December 31, 2022 at 5:26 pm

    Your full of it.

  37. Freddie Pick on December 31, 2022 at 5:26 pm

    This is BS, I wanted to see the mine and operation thereof. Over half the electricity is produced from coal fired plants. There is no alternative to Coal, Gas, or Oil as of yet. Shutting down fossil fuels extraction and usage now is out of the question unless we all go right back to the stone ages. Uninformed and uneducated people in positions of power have us in a real heck of a mess right now. Let’s get back to common sense.

  38. Mario Alfonso on December 31, 2022 at 5:27 pm

    Lol she nial it climate change do not exsict lol nail it

  39. Thomas Just on December 31, 2022 at 5:28 pm

    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

  40. joe blogs on December 31, 2022 at 5:30 pm

    Beautiful scenes of industry producing cheap reliable energy for America. Hope to see many more decades of operation for this site.

    Reminder to you cultist environmentalists: CO2 concentrations were more than 10 times that of today when this coal was made. Plants evolved for those high CO2 conditions, it’s plant food after all. Our standard of living is directly proportional to the price of energy. Renewables are incapable of reliable and cheap energy.

    Electric car fuel.

  44. Noah Casey on December 31, 2022 at 5:36 pm

    So long as power companies buy coal, mines will produce it. The Mines are not the problem. The whole system is.

  45. Nevermind me I just Injected a whole weed on December 31, 2022 at 5:38 pm

    congratz on finding the biggest hicks to talk to about politics
    maybe next time you go talk to someone actually knowledgable
    eg alex epstein

    I bet a pound of Guardian narrator causes more climate change than a pound of coal.

  47. jimmo thekid on December 31, 2022 at 5:40 pm

    Change the title

  48. Diddley 0651 on December 31, 2022 at 5:40 pm

    Take Coal out of the equation then take away your electricity.

  49. My Email on December 31, 2022 at 5:41 pm

    Climate change is driven more by the Earth’s renewal. The north magnetic pole has moved faster than any time since the great freeze. Back to what was the climate of the dinosaurs. Hot moist and great forests and jungle. Lots of well fed lizards and the lot. The Greenies can’t stop an earthquake or a volcano. Not even stopping a cyclone or hurricane, so stop crying and learn how to make burning the forest litter be used in the fireplace for heating and cooking, no more wildfires. Use it for human betterment. Not poluting the fresh water would help greatly. Stop starving the life out of people with high energy prices and no local food.

    Hey lady you like your phone and your home and tv and your everyday items well windmills and solar panels won’t get you far
