Colorado's Coal Catastrophe: Green Zealots Sacrifice Jobs on the Altar of Hypocrisy!

In a scathing X post, Sean Paige highlights the closure of the Colowyo coal mine in Moffat County, Colorado, effective January 1, 2026, resulting in 133 direct layoffs and potentially 437 total job losses, devastating local economies with a 43% drop in property taxes. He blasts state "green zealots" and the "climate cult" for pushing anti-coal policies that ignore soaring global coal demand (record 8.8 billion tons in 2024), especially in China and India, while Colorado phases out coal by 2030. Paige calls out silent Democratic leaders like Governor Polis, Senators Hickenlooper and Bennet, and AG Weiser for prioritizing Boulder elites over rural workers, labeling the move as economic suicide that exports pollution and imports poverty. Accompanied by an image of miners holding signs reading "expendable," "invisible," and "forgotten," the post demands a rethink to save Colorado jobs.
