Democrats meeting in Boston this week are promising to support coal as a key domestic fuel for power generation and say the party would move beyond OPEC by diversifying sources of oil used in the United States. The party also calls for investing billions of dollars in technologies to generate electricity with less pollution. We believe coal must continue its important role in a new energy economy, while achieving high environmental standards, the 2004 Democratic National Platform Committee report says. In addition, the platform would invest in hydrogen technologies.
It supports mandatory, enforceable reliability standards and creation of public-private partnerships to spur more generation that is environmentally friendly.

Easy explanation: Union jobs in WestVirginia
FYI ping :)
You are so right. The entire DNC 2004 "platform" stinks to high heaven. Strange though that the enviro-whackos and the media won't call the Dims on it.
No kidding. This is total BS. In fact, there whole show is total BS. On the one hand, Bush/Cheney should be flattered because all they are doing is imitating BC and co-opting all their proposals; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery afterall. However, they are being totally disingenuous. I hope to GOD they don't get away with it.
West Virginia.
Not union jobs but electoral votes. If Gore had won WVA, he would have been President.

Thanks for the ping!
Mountain Mama.
Let's see F'n try to explain in the debates why he's for coal and against drilling for oil in ANWR. Come to think about it, this may be the first time a challenger refuses to debate the incumbent.
The Greenies are going crazy over this. Well, they weren't Democrats anyway.
That is probably illegal.
Except the "clean" coal (as I understand it) is all in the West -- one of the largest areas, Escalante Staircase, was made a national area by Clinton after urging from people like R. Redford, and I don't think can be mined. The people in Utah were very upset about it at the time. Other thing is most of the mining/coal in the West is owned by Canadian companies (I don't think that's changed) and US gets cents on the dollar back... I think this is to appease the enviros who want to dismantel a lot of the power-producing dams (even though we need water desperately).
Corporate Welfare! Haliburton!
