HAHAHA, you all are a joke. Coal runs EVERYTHING in Eastern KY. It powers more than 50% of OUR energy (I dont know about he rest of the country, but we have a higher percentage). Hey, if you want to save the enviroment, feel free to shut off your power. How would you like that? Alright, let me break this down as I did on another forum. If the coal goes out, all the coal miners will lose their jobs, the coal truckers will lose their jobs because there wont be any coal to haul, truck service/repair shops will go out of business because there isnt any business, some of the gas stations will close because because their main business is coal truckers, that hurts the oil companies and jacks UP the price on oil; now thats one way. The other way is that we will have to spend a whole lot of money to find an alternate energy source (Doubtful) in Eastern KY, so the electric companies will have gigantic lay-offs and because of the energy source being cut off by atleast 60%, your energy bill will be OUTRAGEOUS, as well as the business, which in turn, causes them to cut back and lay-off workers if not close down. Look at how many jobs are lost, and this stuff is off the top of my head. Do you really want this just to save a little on the enviorment?. If they completely shut down mining, everyone will wish we were in a recession; because the depression will be hard...

Im pretty sure that you are involved in this "scare tactic". :biggrin:
