Then you want to put 75,000 people out of work period!

You keep saying other businesses will come in and take the place of coal, all I'm asking is Where and what they are? Why aren't they here now. I never said we couldn't make it without coal, I did say that coal is all we have today, and the anti coal groups want to do away with it without bringing other industry to replace it. I've said on several occasions that I would love to see other industry move into the area, but most factories are going to other countries. The American Standard plant I mentioned before has been moving it's jobs to Mexico for several years and will finially close it's doors next month.

As for answering your question you may want to check posts #17 and #19.

Now it's your turn, Why don't you answer my questions, I've ask several.

Saying that "anti-coal" groups dont wont other jobs in here is a lie, and a scare tatic. They dont work, I dont want to put anyone out of a job, but I also dont want to have contaminated water, bad roads, and no future economy for my kids.

I have already described why jobs aren't here, and you agreed with me, did you forget that, or does it just not fit into your agenda. I cant say for sure that anything I mentioned will succeed, but their worth a try, you cant move forward with taking new steps. We have kids with college educations that could become the future workforce here, but they cant because the jobs they want arent here.

Factories are leaving to other countries, but some of that has to do with failed policies by the man you voted for twice.
