West Virginia

Quantity and quality at each location. I doubt it will suffice for an industry that seemingly cannot be tamed.

What is more likely is that mining in the western states, on mostly public land for a pittance. So we'll pay for it all in raw materials and then again as finished products.

And some mines were closed down for environmental reason which need to be evaluated and I wonder how well the evals will go. I don't trust Vilsak, AG Sec oversees US Forest Service, public lands where a lot of mining takes place.

I am skeptical of how this whole idea will turn out in anyone's favor but I do hope something can be done.
