I even know a couple of guys who work in gun stores who voted for him. The person who will soon take their jobs..... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23011194 They did so because he threw token support behind strip mining in West Virginia. Mostly because it's a Rockefeller owned state that no one gives to shits about. Another Bait and Switch situation, the favorite play of this administration. |

BOONE COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- More than 100 miners are set to be laid off in Boone County, according to the County Commission. County Commissioner Mickey Brown says a Newton Energy Mine in Comfort will be laying off 116 employees starting Nov. 12. Brown says a mine own by Patriot Coal in Wharton is also planning to layoff workers. There's no word yet on how many will be affected at that mine. Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm mistaken.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1169 Who doesn't love smog and pollution? Better than the alternative of Nuclear Meltdown. So Atomic Energy is the only alternative? How many "nuclear meltdowns" have we had? No, its to steer everything to oil to support the dollar through petrodollar use worldwide. The Rockerfellas have a choice, make the billions of dollars they have amassed worthless or support the coal industry employment in this country ? Well guess what ? employment causes inflation too. Could it be that is why everything always goes back to oil ? Green, Alternative, coal, NG, Nuclear and fucking thing for that matter is bad except oil. A little telling is it not ? |
