Humm...excuse me...I'll be out back drinkin' the moonshine 'cause we're all gonna die if our "leaders" keep seriously proposing things like this.

I grew up in West Virginia. No, I would not be happy if coal came back. The state was raped prior to 1900 of its forests, after 1900 for its coal and then left to die. The people weren't any better off. I figure the same thing will happen this time.

Perhaps its better that we fill our skies with coal dust. That way we can all get black lung and die a slow painful death.

Note to Mr. Obama: You've formally lost my vote with your connections to Big Agro and now supporting coal as an "alternative" fuel.

Please Mr. Gore, run. I beg you man, please run.
