I’m not so sure it’s a war on coal so much as it’s a war on Appalachia,” Black said.

Probably right. Mostly white people there.

I see that Alpha Natural Resources is laying off 1,200 people. Demand for coal is down, partly due to EPA regs and the use of natural gas (can you say fracking?).

“RICHMOND – Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling issued the following statement today regarding the news that Alpha Natural Resources will lay off 1,200 employees and close eight mines in Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.”

Alpha wants to develop overseas markets for “thermal coal”, which means it will be exported and burned somewhere on this planet.

It's another sign of class warfare: the elitist, well-to-do government administrators at war with the less privileged under class.

And this time, it's much more than mere rhetoric.

The last link should remove any doubt about whether the gov't has regressed into a pre Sep 11, 2001 mindset. There are five videos. Try one a day.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

What Romney should now go after are the reasons why those on fixed incomes have to go on food stamps and other “benefits” such as energy assistance etc.

The price of food, the cost of energy,have been driven up by regulations and prohibitions designed to change the systems of distribution and use of resources to conform to a socialist scheme or ideal.

In ‘08 I believe that Idiot Joe Biden openly stated that they were going to wage war on coal, but apparently it fell on deaf ears because Pennsylvania and Ohio went for the kenyan and his puppet. Do you think they believe it now?

“As old coal plants retire, we’re working to make sure that clean energy like wind and solar will step in to replace them, providing many new jobs for American workers,” the Sierra Club said.

Ha! wind and solar probably can't replace more than about 10% of what's produced by coal.
