[quote=Coach_Owens87]Did you even read it... The message stated that over the next ten years a projected 1 million acres will be destroyed, if you use alternative energies we can save those 1 million acres.. Please read the full message before jumping to a conclusion.

But we both agree that that money is not used to help this area We do agree the a lot of things are wrong with the coal industry

The ruling in West Virginia put a stop to four pending mine permits that the Army corps of engineers issued. It was around the 4th or 5th time Corps of Engineers has been sued. We do have energy sources to replace coal, you may not like it, but we do.


We should be proud to be from the mountains of eastern ky, and with that pride we should protect our home, not blow it away so others can prosper.

You may want to read your own post before jummping to conclusions nowhere in that post is the word "PROJECTED".

I said more money should be sent to the producing Counties, I did not say the money is not being used to help this area.

I never said a lot of things are wrong with the coal industry, but no industry is perfect.

You have said over and over that we have energy sources to replace coal and over and over again I have ask you what they are, and all you can come up with is Wind Power, then you tell us in 10 years it will only be able to repace about 13% of the over 50% that coal supplies now. Where is the other 37% going to come from?

You keep saying I'm only interrested in coal as a energy source, take a look back at all of my posts how many times have I stated that I have no problem with wind power and that we do need other energy sources at least 3 or 4 times.

I was reading a article on the "Cape Cod Wind Project" this project consist of 130 400 foot tall wind turbines and President Bush is supporting this project, but guess who is opposing the project the one and only U.S. Sentor Ted Kennedy. Why would Kennedy oppose a wind farm off shore at Cape Cod? Is it because he doesn't want to look at 130 400 foot tall turbines when he walks out his yard. I guess it ok to have them in our back yard but not his. You know what is ironic about this is that you, President Bush and I agree on Wind Power
