Despite broad consensus about coal's bleak future, a years-long effort to diversify the economy of this hard-hit region away from mining is stumbling, with Obama-era jobs retraining classes undersubscribed and future programs at risk under President Donald Trumps proposed 2018 budget.

Trump has promised to revive coal by rolling back environmental regulations and moved to repeal Obama-era curbs on carbon emissions from power plants.

Coal isn't coming back, just like bronze and copper toolmaking won't be making a comeback, just like producing tube televisions won't be making a comeback, just like wooden shipbuilding won't be making a comeback. We need retraining for these workers; 45's proposed budget cuts funding for retaining programs, and those who are the target market for those programs believe him when he says that coal will make a comeback.
