A few miles downstream from Pittsburgh(PA)(Gadsden flag on coal barge)

I hope they and their families, and other like-minded folks in Ohio and Pennsylvania, vote to end the self-inflicted war on American energy production.

Thanks to ChicagoBoyz reader Bob Skinner for the picture. Bob half-expected our Commander in Chief to call in a drone strike on these guys, partly for the yucky coal, but mostly for the flag.

This election is a nail biter. I am struggling not to obsess.

God bless America.

I would bet that is one Consol Energy’s barges. A better company and better bunch of safety minded guys couldn’t be found anywhere.

The US Navy flies the Gadston Flag (don’t tread on me) when entering port. Check the video at 1/20.

I wonder how Warren Buffett will feel when he realizes that millions of tons of coal are hauled by the railroad he bought a couple of years ago are no longer a commodity he gets to charge freight for??

“I wonder how Warren Buffett will feel when he realizes that millions of tons of coal...”
