1. Again I ask myself, why do these states end up voting for Republicans

who don't give a shit about the environment? The Dems need to pass legislation banning this, now.

This destruction is beauty to capitalist eyes.

3. Counties where coal-mining takes place tend to vote more Democratic...

than the rest of the states (at least in W.Va., Ky., and Va.). That's because the UMWA used to be strong there. More unionized than the rest of the South.

4. That is, compared to...

the counties outside of the coalfields within Va., WVa, Ky. (to make that clearer). But these areas are becoming a lot more fundamentalist & RW religious in the way they vote - as the strength of the union wanes.
