Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have not had a "war on coal" but it is dying a natural and painful death due to market conditions, greedy coal barons, and concerns about the fate of the planet for our children and grandchildren.
Why is this important?
I care about my home state of West Virginia and about its future. We can be an energy leader for the future as long as we're not stuck in the past and burdened by political fueled blaming. We need to step up and take the challenge of educating our coal miners and others in the state for new opportunities.
