I am aware of and knew about both of these instances. Those happenings are unfortunate.

The point is that this nation needs coal and there is no way to just instantly quit mining coal like the EPA thinks. I have no problem with switching to alternative fuels, but we have to make the transition in a slow process. Only reason I say that is because coal is going to run out one day. If coal was unlimited, then I would be for mining it until the end of time. Obama and the administration need to understand that the way they are going about this is ludicris.
