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.

    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!

    Stop burning the coal and most of the plants and trees on Earth will suffocate.

    Obama was the easiest politician to buy in world history.

    Jeffery Sachs is such a scumbag… makes me want to puke

  6. StereoSpace on June 22, 2021 at 5:20 am

    Who didn’t know this "news" piece was gonna be a hit piece on the coal industry?

  7. Kody Oakenshield on June 22, 2021 at 5:23 am

    Trash video

  8. TIM BO on June 22, 2021 at 5:26 am

    Coal keeps the lights on

  9. Noah Fain on June 22, 2021 at 5:26 am

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

  10. Slowrollincoal on June 22, 2021 at 5:26 am

    As a union Boilermaker, I can tell you that simply turning off the fossil fuel power plants is not going to solve the problem

  11. Nikiforos F on June 22, 2021 at 5:26 am

    Another video sponsored by the green economy business? The coal is not the reason for the climate change… it has been used for so many years… What is the problem is our continuous ”progress” that imposes to renew all our products as soon as possible so that we pay again and again and make the companies happy…

    I recently just started investing in bitcoin when I learnt it was $60000 through the help of Luiz and just an hour ago I got a profit of $9000 into my wallet

    questions
    1: Do you care if your children and grandchildren have a livable world and have energy, too?
    2: Are you willing to live Without air conditioning – for your children and grandchildren?

  14. Commander Doom on June 22, 2021 at 5:28 am

    The planets gonna change. We are still coming to the end of this ice age

  15. Tau1s on June 22, 2021 at 5:29 am

    here i com to see some cool machines not some old had speak about how coal is bad and so on (also if they wherent mining it it someone else would)

  16. Joseph Alcoff on June 22, 2021 at 5:30 am

    Suzanne Goldenberg is a nitwit …

  17. Joshua 1212 on June 22, 2021 at 5:32 am

    THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO SEE THE MINE NOT A CLIMATE CHANGE REPORT?! ANYWAYS WE DON’T NEED FOSSIL FUELS, GAS ,OIL ,COAL, YES WE MAY NEED COAL TO MAKE STEEL BUT WE DON’T NEED IT IN OUR POWER PLANTS WE CAN DESIGN EVERYTHING TO RUN ON HHO TWO PARTS HYDROGEN ONE PART OXYGEN IT’S SO EASY TO SPLIT THE ATOMS TO MAKE HYDROGEN OR OXYGEN AND IT’S ALL MADE WITH JUST WATER YOU CAN DO IT AT HOME WITH COMMON HOUSEHOLD ITEMS CHECK OUT THE STAN MEYER VIDEO HE WAS MURDERED BECAUSE HE MADE A CAR THAT RUNS ON WATER

  18. SruntinK on June 22, 2021 at 5:32 am

    Mantap, amazing, keren…mampir om

  19. T S on June 22, 2021 at 5:32 am

    Keep the coal going

  20. G R on June 22, 2021 at 5:32 am

    Just 1 ton of this coal produces 3700lbs or carbon dyoxide???

  21. Muhammad Pack on June 22, 2021 at 5:34 am

    They don’t care that 80 percent of coal country is coal miners shut down the mines and America will go broke

  22. Martin Ulig on June 22, 2021 at 5:37 am

    This is a quarry, why do they keep calling it “a mine”?

  23. Scott MMAFan on June 22, 2021 at 5:37 am

    "They’re just doing it for their bottom line." Sort of like every other company in this country. There’s no other industry that would be told not to make money, or to lose money because their product damages the environment.

  24. Dynamic Solution on June 22, 2021 at 5:37 am

    So 1 ton of coal produces 3,700 lbs of waste/carbon gas..sounds like liberal logic.

  25. Brandon Dobschutz on June 22, 2021 at 5:38 am

    Bait and switch journalism

  26. memyselfand ifarmer on June 22, 2021 at 5:38 am

    😢😢😢😝😝😝😜😜

  27. Janet M M on June 22, 2021 at 5:39 am

    Americas carbon footprint is small compared to other countries.
    Coal isnt just used for burning.

  28. Stan Keebler on June 22, 2021 at 5:40 am

    Climate change? You mean chem. Trails… To thaw south pole….

  29. Lester Gillis on June 22, 2021 at 5:40 am

    This presumes that "climate change" is caused by man made industry.
    What if it’s caused more by variable solar output ? ?

  30. MrMinnesota99 on June 22, 2021 at 5:40 am

    2000 lbs of coal contains 3700 lbs of carbon? Must be using common core math…

  31. C0ZMO on June 22, 2021 at 5:42 am

    World will be over by the time we can even make the slightest difference in climate change. 🤦‍♂️

  32. STAR on June 22, 2021 at 5:42 am

    Wow I come to see the mine and what do I get? Politics.
    So you want to shut down coal use, but you also don’t want to put the money and effort into alternatives. Pointless!

  33. GoneBamboo on June 22, 2021 at 5:46 am

    Global warming is a Boogeyman invented by global elites in the letters of Rome. Since the Grand Solar Minimum is now on progress, it has been changed to ‘climate change’. People will be freezing to death on the mini ice-age, few cultures have existed long enough to remember. Why is China buying food like it’s going out of style?

  34. NaptownTuner on June 22, 2021 at 5:48 am

    Big media is pushing the great reset / new world order. Get ready to lose all your freedoms in the name of climate change that can’t be proven. Don’t be so easily influenced by the so called “scientists” they will tell you with a strait face that this earth came from Nothing and call it science, that’s just one example. Real science is what you can test observe and repeat. If al gore had his way Florida would already be under water

  35. D S on June 22, 2021 at 5:48 am

    stop with the climate change BS – one volcano eruption puts out more carbon then man has produced since the beginning of our existence. Get a new pyramid scheme – climate change is BS!

  36. K Earl Long Jr on June 22, 2021 at 5:52 am

    Climate change is normal you people are nuts

  37. Cf Henriksen on June 22, 2021 at 5:52 am

    There is no such thing as "Green" Energy.
    Only the emotionally fragile Climate Loons think otherwise.

  38. Bull Miller on June 22, 2021 at 5:52 am

    How exactly does 2000 lbs of coal produce 3700 lbs of emissions?

  39. Jim Bo on June 22, 2021 at 5:54 am

    The sky is falling…..

  40. MrMinnesota99 on June 22, 2021 at 5:55 am

    Also, increased atmospheric co2 encourages plant and forest growth making the earth more green

  41. W W on June 22, 2021 at 5:57 am

    When the tough questions get asked, turn off the camera 🤣🤣 coal is only one problem that causes pollution. You could stop coal use tomorrow and the effect stopping coal use and mining would be very negligible.

  42. Chris Dreiling on June 22, 2021 at 5:59 am

    There is a volcano erupting in Hawaii that they say has been erupting for 300 years every single day but there worried about burning a little coal. We are still warming from the last ice age. When it gets time it will start getting colder tell there’s another ice age. It’s called history

  43. SwissExcavators on June 22, 2021 at 6:03 am

    If we are the problem, why we are not in the ice age anymore?

  44. Danny Deshler on June 22, 2021 at 6:04 am

    They cry and whine about coal but have no answer on what to use to replace it…And don’t say wind and solar, they aren’t even remotely close to being able to keep up with the power output of coal. Technology has not advanced to the point of eliminating coal, we need to work on cleaning up the emissions from the coal boilers, that will be a way to keep what we need and help the environment.

  45. ZanyBlakeSpeed on June 22, 2021 at 6:08 am

    Humans, the only species arrogant enough to believe we are ruining the earth! Zero proof! Zero facts! No model to base the theory off of since there is only been one earth. Just hypothetical bull…t. So America goes totally green, so what! The rest of the world does not. China, India and many third world countries signed the Paris Climate change and then do not even come close to meeting their goals. All in the single digits compared to where they are supposed to be. What a joke. A green country means hyperinflation, a week economy and the end of this great country!

  46. Cutt on June 22, 2021 at 6:08 am

    I clicked on this hoping to see a big coal mine, but instead I’m being forced to have the typical ‘Karen’ tell me "climate change" is real and coal that comes from the U.S. is the problem. I think it’s funny, when we hear about "climate change" in America, it’s always touted as being our fault and no other nation in the world is polluting the air. Give me a break.

  47. Russ mt on June 22, 2021 at 6:08 am

    1:35 " just1 ton of this coal releases 3700 lbs of carbon dioxide emissions " how does that work.

  48. BigBusiness on June 22, 2021 at 6:09 am

    Al Gore said we’d be dead by 2013 from climate change lol…What a sham!

  49. 유리지니TVᆞ333movieᆞ on June 22, 2021 at 6:10 am

    이렇게..
