WEST VIRGINIA! DIRTY COAL OWNS THE STATE.
DIRTY COAL DESTROYED THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE HEALTH OF MINERS.
DIRTY COAL PREVENTED THAT STATE FROM MOVING FORWARD AND PLANNING FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE.
DIRTY COAL IS DONE!
Stupid Is...As Stupid Does. ~WTP

Chuck Schumer just placed King Coal Joe Manchin on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. This is the guy who *literally shot* the last climate bill. This means NO progress on climate legislation for years. Now that the excitement from the election has faded, it's back to the disappointing reality that Democrats will steamroll over everything we care about.

Coal-friendly Manchin becomes top Democrat on Senate energy committee
Senate Democrats on Tuesday named Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) top Democrat on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
The move is sure to anger liberal activists, who fear the coal-friendly Manchin may impede future progress on bold climate change legislation. The West Virginia Democrat allayed some of those concerns last week when he invoked climate change denial in voting against FERC commissioner Bernard McNamee, who he had previously backed in committee.
Manchin has offered to meet with his critics and vowed to work with anybody. "Tell them to please come talk to me. If you talk to them, tell them Sen. Manchin is open," he said previously.
In a statement today, Manchin pointed to his home state priorities and the energy panel's history of bipartisanship but did not specifically mention climate change.
"West Virginia is a leading energy producer and major contributor to advanced energy technologies, and I intend to ensure this progress is continued," Manchin said. "The problems facing our country are serious, and I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find common sense solutions for long-term comprehensive energy policy that incorporates an all-of-the-above strategy and ensures our state and our nation are leaders in the energy future.”
