Speaking of coal mines...
MONEY TALKED LOUDEST AT TRUMP'S INAUGURAL
Bob Murray, one of the coal industry's loudest voices, spent $300,000 on Trump's inauguration and got lots more than good seats.
Mr. Murray - whose Murray Energy is a serial violator of federal health and safety rules - demanded that Mr. Trump gut regulatory oversight and pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement in his first three months.
"I'm not a patient man", warned Mr. Murray, who earned infamy when he falsely insisted that the 2007 collapse of his Crandall Canyon mine, which killed six miners, was due to an earthquake, not dodgy mining practices. "I'm going to be watching that things happen as fast as they can".
They did. After Mr. Trump's inauguration Mr. Murray, his son Ryan and Kevin Hughes, Murray Energy's general manager, stood beaming in the White House as Mr. Trump signed a law killing a rule banning coal mining waste from waterways.
