Hillary Clinton said some words about it.

> "We're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people," Clinton said. "Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now we've got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don't want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on."

Famously what got quoted was this part:

> "we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business."



I don’t see the pulled out quote in the main quote.
