Well its true Coal does power the nation's capital (DC). Coal does power Maryland along with hydrogen. Western Maryland isn't ashamed that coal powers the State of Maryland and DC. Western Maryland also favors alternative energy. Untill that Alternative Energy comes to Maryland and DC coal will be around for many more decades. Wind energy is one of many alternatives that is coming in the next few decades. Our Region of Maryland will like to produce Natural Gas.

So, you are cool with the pollution that YOUR coal burning plant spews out in to the atmosphere?

If Obama gets his way Cumberland will suddenly be abanded because of those people that work on the railroad, Coal Plants, Coal Mines, and New Page.

[v19d]

Amen. Does Obama know where his lights come from in the Whitehouse. Maybe Obama should try Western Maryland Coal. If Obama is seriously about getting off from Coal then he should take the Whitehouse off the grid. Is he aware DC gets powered by coal.

[v19d]

Also the Coal that powers DC and Baltimore also come from Parts of PA. Besides this is a great story.

I live in Cumberland Maryland and I like our Mayor. Wait till Obama raises taxes so high we won't be the Housing Champs. Besides some City people can call Cumberland in the sticks but don't say we are hicks and racists. Those city people should just turn off their lights if they think we are racists and hicks. Because outside Cumberland in the County that is where their energy comes from like Coal. Don't forget DC and Baltimore is power by Coal from Western Maryland, Parts of West Virginia.

I grew up in Cumberland. Beautiful Area.. My mother the "Track Lady" just passed away in Oct.2008. I know she is being missed by many. I live in the Mid-west now,but Cumberland,will always be Home. Still have great friends there. "I Left My Heart In Cumberland".

micromac98 is right, there are a lot of houses that sit on the market for years. The house across the street from us has been for sale for 3 years and we live in a fairly nice area. Yes it is a very nice place to live but there are no jobs to speak of here, no jobs with future's. The money that comes in comes from the wealthy with 2 or more homes, who doesn't want to live in "the city". Yes; Cumberland has not had it as bad as other towns; but neither are we economically "sitting pretty".

It is a wonderful place to live however there are NO jobs to sustain the people of this county. "City slickers" are coming into the area and buying up the houses at what they consider "dirt cheap"prices. So as was said before, great deals for the wealthy but lousy for the locals. But as it was clarified before, this is what those idiots want in the WH! beat down the poor and build the rich.
