virginia is proof of that. stuart: how much of ohio is actually coal country where mining takes place. >> well, the mining takes place along the ohio river appeared eastern and southeasterno remember ohio itself, the entire state gets 45% to 50% of energy from coal. it is still a poll producing coal consuming state and that drives down the cost of utilities for manufacturing companies. it's a big deal for ohio. stuart: donald trump won big in west virginia and west virginia and does not get those mining jobs back. i'll restore those jobs. congressman, i'm not so sure he can do that. i don't think you can bring back many coal mining jobs back because natural gas is so much cheaper. >> we are going to see market pressures like natural gas. that's the beauty of a free-market system like ours here in america that built the world's greatest economy. we are going to see market pressures on coal. that's exactly what we need to be doing. get the pressure of washington d.c. and regulators like epa and interior department on the back of the coal industry and what to compete. i can tell you right now that is not what our friends in europe are saying. they are going to a higher mix
