Reply #22: Yeah, that is what we want

someone who forgets the little people - the working class. Their vote doesn't matter, screw them. :sarcasm:

I grew up in a coal mining family, town and area. I still have members of my family that make their living in coal mines. I am not a big fan of the coal mining industry but I know a lot of people that depend upon it to live. From what I have heard, coal mining can be done in an earth friendly way, and coal can be cleaned where it is more environmentally friendly. We have research ongoing here at SIU to find ways to do so.

I would like to live in a world where we could all have solar panels on our roofs to supply our power. I would like to live in a world where all the earth was protected from industry. I would like a lot of things, but I live in the real world, and I know that people have to survive and hopefully it will/can be in a way that the earth can be protected. That should be our goal, not taking away from people who are the working class.

Coal mines are one job here that can't be outsourced.
