Trump's insistence on reviving the coal industry is patently idiotic (and clearly just a way to curry favor with a slice of his voting demographic) and dangerous. To add insult to injury, it may also threaten to disrupt areas where some serious paleontology is happening. The Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument in Utah is the site of some pretty exciting dinosaur finds, and there's immense potential there for much more. There are also, however, coal seams. You see where this is going. Fortunately coal is no longer a cost-effective energy source, so this may never become an issue. Occasionally, even a lying sack of shit like Trump can't circumvent the facts. Sad!
