I tell ya what, why don't you live thru these winter months without electricity then tell us if you feel the same about it all. Why don't we shut down every coal mine in KY for about a month then see how ya feel. You may not like it, but face it, we gotta have it.

lol, is that the best you can do? That's nothing more than a worn out talking point. Next time please try to come up with something intellegient to offer in this debate.

Coal produces around 55% of our nations electricity, so yes if ALL coal mining shut down a lot of people would be without jobs and power, But I never said to completly stop mining. I just believe that MTR is a very destructive form of mining, that is causing irreverasable damages to our enviornment. We have to mine coal in a way that is better for everyone involved untill we have a better, more reliable and renewable source of energy to produce our nations electricity.
