Most of those miners are hunters & fishermen...or people who otherwise respect nature (most/all live in the country). The last thing they would want is to destroy the nature in their own backyard.
Yes because nothing says "I don't want to destroy nature in my own backyard" like mountaintop removal.

Batteries require mining. Singling out the coal industry is retarded.

This just in those coal miners were just killed in an unsafe mine.

Don't worry, Nancy. OSHA's still around to suck all the fun out of work.

This is one of the most brain-dead...and scary...comments I've seen on this board.

Well now---That is just weak.
Guess no one should ever say anything about the presidency.

A better analogy would be to say that one shouldn't disagree with military folks concerning military matters...oh shite, that one is true too.

It's pretty obvious most commenting have knowledge of either
Most products we touch have mined components.

Here's a link to that report.
Too long. The reason I doubt their numbers on subsidies is due to the definition of subsidy.
A grant and a tax credit are different.
IE, Solyndra says 'We need money to build solar panels'
Govt says: Here is a million dollars.
Conversely, Exxon does not say "We need money to drill in the gulf." And the govt does not say "Here, Exxon, here is a million dollars."
Now, if you can find me something in your link that says oil companies get grants like solar companies I'd love to read it.
BTW, I've always been against any subsidies of ethanol. It really plays havoc with global corn prices and Mexicans get really mad.

Well let me spell it out for you.
"No one should ever speak about what the president says unless they've stepped foot in the white house"
Close enough?
"No one should ever speak about what the president says unless they've stepped foot in the white house"
Close enough?

Actually mining is dying. Has been for decades. No matter what the government does. The natural gas(fracking) is where it's at in Appalachia now. Btw, the guys that own the coal mines are the biggest POS you'd ever want to meet too.

If you cant differentiate from policy making and specific vocational expertise in a field, I feel for you.

I guess policy making doesn't consist of "vocational expertise". Anyone can do it----it's easy.
