Coal advocate condemns administration http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1278776609 
The Obama administration is as bad as any William B. "Bill" Raney has dealt with in 35 years, the president of the West Virginia Coal Association told members of the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce at its Rise and Shine Breakfast Friday.
"We're under attack by the Obama administration," he said. "They don't care about West Virginia - they don't care about Appalachia."
Raney spoke highly of U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., for being a strong voice for coal, although he disagrees with Rockefeller's stand on so-called cap-and-trade legislation.
"We don't need cap and trade," Raney said. "It will raise your power bills. Power companies will charge you all more money."

We care so much about Appalachia we are willing to blow it to smithereens w/ mountaintop removal.
