the coal company that I work for

Well Well Well. So you work for a coal company. Imagine that.
Your credibility as an unbiased representative of this particular issue is now non-existent.

Boy it sure would suck for you if we cut back on coal mining and replaced Coal Energy with Clean/Green resources.

But no sir your way of life is dependent on the Robber Barrons of the coal industry and their ability to continue to pollute the earth, groundwater and lifeforms on this planet.

Coal mining is the old way to provide energy. We are smarter and more advanced(at least some of us are) than those who came before us. We now have new ways of providing energy that are better.

Quit thinking about yourself for a change "republican" and think of the "greater good" for all of mankind and your childrens children.
