***The GOP congress needs to make a visit out to Washington state and be photographed showing the American people the new port built to ship US coal to China***

That’s incredible, SL. Is it commonly known? If so, I’ll write to my House Rep. and ask him to take it on. No sense writing to my Senators because they’re both Obomaites.

I doubt it is commonly known. Note the rich irony of liberals shutting down their own regional coal-fired electric plants, defending Australia building a US port to ship US coal to China to be burned with no environmental controls or scrubbing equipment .... it's only “fair” that China get a shot at polluting Mother Gaia
