It's great to see a Democratic stronghold like Logan County take a strong stand against one of the politicians responsible for the destruction of the coal industry. Logan County Democrats voted against their own best interests for decades before finally waking up but at least they are finally fighting back.

The problem is there are so few friends of the energy sector left in either party. The RINOs who control Congress could have stopped Obama's War on Cold but chose not to risk re-election. Politicians have been dismantling the coal industry since Reagan left office in a bi-partisan effort. The Obama administration has been the worst offender by far, but the fossil fuel companies have had more friends than enemies in the federal government for decades.

I don't know how accurate this is, but I'm hearing Logan County is 5 to 1 democratic. It may be to late, but I'm glad to see some standup for the industry.
