I had tossed around the idea of going to MJS but no I won't be there. In my opinion – if coal was put here by God then it is closer to the forbidden fruit than something we are supposed to use.

I don't think so. Are ramps and speckled trout a renewable resource? If you renew some resources doesn't that preclude the renewal of others? Like the tone in your WVA post Denny. You are a rock star. Will you be at MJS? perhaps this is controversial, but it seems to me that there is a tight correlation between folks who think that ‘coal is given to man by god under his dominion and we should use it’ and ‘the earth is less than 10 000 years old no matter what science says’.
