Do you honestly think i do not know this?
I read reports everyday. This is what i do for a living.
Things are slow due to the mild winter and spring because of the lesser use of electricity and also the staggering low prices of natural gas, however, it's still more of a problem that we cant do anything without the EPA being where they do not belong. They continually overstpe their boundaries. If coal couldnt sale right now why is it that a certain comapny close to here, owned by canadians is the top running company going right now? Its because they can move it. They dont have to worry about it. There self sufficient to where they use it themselves so they can overstep the government when it comes to A LOT of things.
I will agree the weather has put a hurting on the coal industry this year, causing record low profits for a lot of companies, however, there is still enough burning to keep places from shutting down. When i entered the coal business with the mining company i work for, i knew from the start that the coal business was risky and it was an up and down business, but this is ridicolous, and it's costing all of Kentucky.
Throw articles and ads at me all you want. It's all you people on the political forum do, but when you the one working in an industry directly affected by government regulations, on a daily basis, then you'll see where im coming from.



i have worked in it 34 years

How convienient.
You would not be a liberal far left democrat if that was the case, unless you dont want to have a job and work which makes sense, since thats the democratic way.
