Re: West Virginia chemical spill cuts water to up to 300,000, state of emergency decl
Good point. Nevada, Illinois and Rhode Island have the highest unemployment. Most of the coal mines should be moved to those states. :roll:
This is what happens when a single industry has a stranglehold on local government. I can't think of a single state dominated by any industry more than West Virginia is by big coal.
It's so damn sad, I love the area and I have family that lives there, and Appalachia is one of the most beautiful environments in the United States. Whenever I visit you can tell that local residents know that Big Coal doesn't have them or their environments interests at their hearts but they are so reliant on coal mining they simply look the other way.
