59% : The enduring influence of mining also shows how long a well-organised lobby can outlast its economic relevance.
55% : Indeed, the sense of loss radiated by a dying industry was perhaps what made mining so attractive to the grievance-mongering Mr Trump in the first place.
51% : Even without subsidies, wind and solar power are often the cheapest new source available, so sure to grow.
51% : The Florida-based utility, whose market valuation last year briefly exceeded that of Exxon Mobil, has lobbied against rooftop solar panels and hydropower and is led by a registered Republican. "
51% : It cannot be compared to the visceral attachment of a small Appalachian community to the coal industry, even years after its local mine has closed.
