Clean burning coal technology creates nearly 0 pollution and helps the steel industry in America to create jobs and cars for the US auto industry. Dont listen to the Green Communists trying to destroy American jobs. Help the US economy. Support Coal mining in Virginia!
however USA is the most diversified economy in the world ! mysteriously no economic diversification has possible in virginia ! Why ?
Federal state however can decide to establish industry sectors which are his prerogative like technology (power plant, military base, nasa purveyors, a make area without tax to attract investors in clean industry ...
there is so much means to diversify and attract to redeploy a real economy !
i think USA fuck virginian people with just one type of industry ...
All people in world know just one type industry prevent economic development because all people will depend on wages of this industry ...
they compel you to have just one possible job : mining, mining, mining in your state ... it was an energy strategy to not use others energies possible !
appalaches are montains with rivers : you make a lot of DAM however !
i see a documentary of coal in virginia (i'm from france, in france coal abandoned since long time except for steel industry in north of france and border with germany)
all supporter of coal industry in virginia have the same argument : no coal no job in virginia (48 th poorer state in USA) i think they manipulate you !
in europe in all regions who lived by mines (and not has opened sky : in gallery) they re-diversified economy ...
it is a shock that u dumb people talk pure trash about what feeds our families..keeps our stores open..and powers the nation...until you can clean up your own nasty ass cities..stay off our hill
Here's an idea that only closed minded people will reject...Let's start developing wind, solar, and whatever means of power we may think best for the future, take our time to make sure we do it right...Allow miners to work while we are doing all this, and transition slowly. Stopping coal "now" is like putting the cart before the horse...it will only cripple us, cause drastic, sudden increases in energy bills, unemployment, and shortages of energy untill the other energies are ready.
West Virginia needs to realize that coal is a dying industry, and the state and it's people need to look to the future and lead the nation in moving to green industries. Stop thinking short term and think long term. Coal companies are destroying our home and people are cheering them on as long as they get a weekly paycheck.
We come up with a light for america? yeahhhh cut coal off cut lights off.........and Coal is West Virginia how about you think about how our lives are affected if you cut coal off my life and my familys life will be affected majorly
Showalter Micropower would return trees to the old mines. Make 11 high paying ful time jobs. 33 indirect jobs. All carbon zero in around 2 1/2 years. If anything trees will be planted on the sites.
Actually, I'm on hydro out here, which I'm not proud of either. And I do try to keep my electricity consumption low. My point is we use what we have only because it's there, not because it's the best way. If coal was not an option, we'd figure out a better, cleaner way of powering up; right now it's not in corporate interests to invest in the research, development, and implementation--all of which would mean jobs for people. I'm out of work right now myself, so I get your basic argument...
Not true. The "reclaimed" land is left as a flat, desolate plain with scrub growing on it and a handful of small animal species, and a sign calling it a "preserve" of one kind or another where once there were forests, rivers, and vast amounts of animals... And yes, please turn off your power. Good idea.
coal has been our way of life for along time...I don't think outsiders should have any say in it....everyone uses coal....every time you boot your computer up, every time you flip a light switch on, when you (or someone you love) is in the hospital on life saving machines....COAL is at work....coal isn't going anywhere soon...
This is true, and everyone knows it. But that doesn't mean it's a good thing. What's wrong with trading out mining jobs for jobs building and maintaining green-energy-producing plants and other infrastructure instead of tearing down mountains and sludging up the country? Infrastructure always needs maintaining and it's good for everybody. Plus, they're jobs that can't be outsourced to other countries.
You should look up just how much sludge and poison is sleazily dumped on your own community by the coal companies sometime--they get away with poisoning people because they either sit on the boards that make the laws or they pay the people who write the laws. Ever notice how the guys who run the companies don't live in communities near the mines? I'd have to be a real knucklehead to work for someone who's poisoning me and laughing all the way to the bank, right? Are these the jobs you mean?
Well, as someone who had been a both state and federal reclamation inspector for two decades: YES, that is a mining operation...like most all mining operations.
Look at some copper or iron ore mines to see even bigger and deeper ones -- and coal mines in Wyoming.

Yeah and getting rid of WV coal, will also get rid of WV. Clean energy does not provide the jobs that coal does.

By the time these mine companies finish, WV will look like Utah or Arizona. Rocks, craters, dust and dirt - no trees, no clean water, and no people.

If this is "bad," all types of mining are bad.
