My take aways are:
We now know how Biden and Schumer will keep Joe Manchin in line.
Being not yet 100_days in to the Biden usurpation, I am mesmerized at the speed at which the Godless hordes are moving to remake America one collective at a time.
I totally agree. It’s a like chapter taken from ‘Atlas Shrugged’.
Who is John Galt?
You need to add: Zoom sessions to instruct jobless miners how to ‘code’.
Beckley.should’ve been #1 on the list.
Maybe even #1, 2 & 3.
Dig coal, not watermelonism.
“We now know how Biden and Schumer will keep Joe Manchin in line.”
Exactly. Not to mention, a new job for Manchin’s wifey...
“Biden Nominates Joe Manchin’s Wife to Co-Chair Appalachian Regional Commission”
You can’t operate a modern technological civilization of the sort we have come to expect on wind and solar. There is no plan I see for a crash program to develop and build next generation nuclear plants, probably involving thorium.
The whole thing is build by people smoking way too much Hopium and will result in massive energy poverty. Prepare accordingly.
Replace the coal mines with nuclear plants. Problem solved
If someone were buying Joe Manchin’s vote to kill the Senate filibuster rules, it would look just like this.
So just throw money at West Virginia (which is prone to corruption anyway)?
COME BACK, PRESIDENT TRUMP!
WTH
Notice in there is our money ti be ysed to create zUnion jobs.
Bs
gotta buy manchin’s vote.
Guess giving us the pipeline back wasn’t on the table. It created plenty of jobs in WV. There’s no magic wand to bring back jobs!
“ The interagency working group identified nearly $38 billion in existing federal funding that could be accessed by energy communities for infrastructure, environmental remediation, UNION JOB CREATION, community revitalization, and jobs well-suited to support hard-hit energy communities.”
Billions of dollars we don’t have down the rat hole.
Want to help those communities? Eliminate all Federal and State taxes for a guaranteed minimum of 10 years and turn them into Trump “economic opportunity zones”. https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/The-Impact-of-Opportunity-Zones-An-Initial-Assessment.pdf
Then sit back and watch it happen.
Will they do that? Nooooo.
It’s all BS.
WV has never reached a population of two miilion. There’s lots of rural areas that are comatose due to kids moving away for jobs and the elderly dying.
The answer is new residents.
W/o jobs that means retirees. W/o internet retirees won’t move to the state in the numbers needed. Verizon milked the copper line phone system, to the point it can’t be restored. Many areas in the state do not have and won’t have cell service due to the population density.
The only solution is broadband from electric utilities like that set up in southwest VA by AEP.
Speaking of coal, from a few days ago, posted by someone who lives in a state with sky-high electric rates cuz Albany refuses to let us burn it...
China’s imports of US coal, Canadian barley continue to climb amid ban on Australian exports
Question for Manchin: Why do the ChiComs get to burn US coal, but not Americans?
