Economy, Where Are the Jobs?
“He has been, and remains, the best friend coal miners and their families have ever had in Congress. This is cut from Cecil Roberts remarks and from the WVAblue.com website. It shows that those enviro maniacs on that site understand that without coal, they cannot sit behind their computers. It also shows that the support coal.
Another article on there, is about Logan County and a fish hatchery. WVAblue enviro freaks say it won’t happen because of surface mining. They are wrong, in Mingo County, a fish hatchery is built near a surface mine site and produces fish each and everyday. It is located near one of the East Coasts premier golf courses, Twisted Gun, which is built on an old surface mine. These enviro freak maniacs have no common sense and are driving jobs out of WV.
Surface mining is also a pure, clean form of mining that the enviro freaks describe as harmful. Well, it is not, the overburden, legally requires a base of stone, which acts as a natural purifier and the water is cleaner before than after.
WVAblue should probably put windmills on top of their houses to run their computers. The people of WV need jobs and without coal, we will have no jobs. Also, there is no surface mining sites in Parkersburg, and the panhandles, therefore Clem needs to stay there and keep away from our jobs. We don’t get on here and talk about how she blogs and spreads false lies and adds to the rumors of mining. Coal mining, as Senator Byrd, and all our Congress rep’s will tell you, it is here to stay!
Face it, surface mining has provided Southern, WV especially Boone, Logan, and Mingo Counties with a lot of economic opportunities. The politicans of those areas are standing up for their livelihoods, people, jobs, way of living, and future – so wvablue should focus leave them alone.
Jobs, Economic Prosperity, Lights, Electricity, the future of WV, and the list goes on = coal.
Environmentalists = candle lights, no cars, and the stone age way of life.
