1. Because of one word: "coal"

I understand my fellow Hillbillies' concern f/ what's become a culture, but I hope reality finally breaks through the fog. State govts need to stop pandering to coal CEOs and doing more to find ways to rebuild economies on something other than environmentally destructive, water-ruining, black lung causing, scenic despoiling coal.

BTW, notice tornadoes increasing in southern WV? Coal mountaintopping has reduced the wind breaks that used to kill those winds.
