reuters ^ | 07/04/2019

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice confirmed Cline’s death on Twitter but offered no details on how it happened.

“Today we lost a WV superstar and I lost a very close friend. Our families go back to the beginning of the Cline empire - Pioneer Fuel. Chris Cline built an empire and on every occasion was always there to give. What a wonderful, loving, and giving man,” Justice said.

“Cathy and I are praying for his family and all those involved in this tragedy,” Justice said.

Cline died the day before his 62nd birthday and was a native of Beckley, West Virgina.

Among those killed was also one of Cline’s daughters, the Register-Herald said, citing unnamed friends of Cline.

Cline said humankind would benefit more from cheap abundant energy than from overreacting to minimal increases in atmospheric CO2, and the reacting to the levels of the world’s oceans. In an interview with Bloomberg, Cline said “As far as the social acceptability of coal, I like to think I’m part of supplying the cheapest energy in America.

This fellow pretty well revived the coal industry in Illinois and gave a lot of jobs to a really depressed area.

Ah thanks. I have so many web pages open that the memory must be running low. Maybe I can take another shot.

From Wikipedia: "In 2015, Jasper Reserves L.L.C., owned by Chris Cline, donated one million dollars to Super PACs supporting the presidential candidacy of Jeb Bush."

“Cline said humankind would benefit more from cheap abundant energy than from overreacting to minimal increases in atmospheric CO2”

And that’s absolutely correct. Leftist twats here in America want to deal a fatal death blow to America. That’s what all the “global warmimg” is really about, and that’s all it’s ever been about.

Putting my tin foil hat on for a moment, I’d be “Inclined” to suspicious of the reason for the helicopter crash.

[[Cline said humankind would benefit more from cheap abundant energy than from overreacting to minimal increases in atmospheric CO2]]

Exactly- the CO2 from man amounts to just 0.00136% of the atmosphere-

Because I Posted the provided Pic Address using the HTML Code to show that that Address was a Pic that did not show anything that resembled a Crashed Helicopter but instead a coppolation of demonratcommiescumbags.

Post #3 contained the Incorrect Address Link (http://host.site.com/oops.gif)

Make sense now ?
