It's not just Pike, it's all of EKY. Ask yourselves what we all have in common, our water. Water that coal runoff has inhibited for generations. A doctor at Markey cancer center told me when my mom got cancer, said EKY has an alarmingly high cancer rate, and blamed it on the water. Coal people don't care about that, as long as they live at their higher standards.

"The liberal EPA is just out to destroy our way of life."

That is a load of bull. Maybe some people in the coal industry live at high standards. For others it's their only way of life, the only thing they know how to do, and the only thing that puts bread on the table. "Quit whining about the government and go get a job", right? Give it a rest. :eyeroll:
