Comments on: The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind. http://endmtr.com/2008/09/17/the-answer-my-friend-is-blowin-in-the-wind/ Working to 'Write' a Wrong Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:18:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brad http://endmtr.com/2008/09/17/the-answer-my-friend-is-blowin-in-the-wind/comment-page-1/#comment-370 Brad Thu, 18 Sep 2008 02:51:57 +0000 http://endmtr.com/?p=385#comment-370 I can't stand you crazy environmental extremists. You want mountain top removal to end just so your precious children won't be poisoned and your ancestral homeland won't be destroyed. Who cares if untold animals are burried alive? There is profit to be made. Of course, a wind farm would be better for the community and the world, but would it be better for Don Blankenship? NO! What is more important, you being able to breathe without inhaling silica dust or Don being able to visit the French Riviera? You are so selfish. And if you don't be quiet and let your history, present, and future be destroyed so Don's stock will go up, then you my friend are an environmental extremist. You make me sick. (nice site!)

I feel it was in very poor taste that the Governor didn't attend, considering the rally was advertised well in advance, but rather, the Governor decided his time would be better spent campaigning for an office that polls show him ahead by at least 25 percentage points. That to me, illustrates how his blantant disregard the people of this state. I also believe We The People of West Virginia need to show our appreciation for Governor Manchin by sending him back to Farmington come November. It just makes good business sense to construct the Coal River Wind Farm, the state would benefit from long-term jobs, and the last mountain in the Coal River valley would be saved. With the Wind Farm, Massey Energy would also be able to diversify their portfolio, and make a killing on governmental wind subsidies if only they would fold up their arrogance card and lay it aside for a few moments. What would it hurt to at least try? For years they have stated that the radical environmentalists needed to show a viable alternative to MTR, and now that they have...Massey wants no part of it. So much for Massey's recent statement of their committment to Social Responsibility. In closing, I am heartened that there are like-minded folks out there who are fed up with the status quo, and are taking a stand for the future of southern West Virginia. Thanks for posting this Denny.

I'm writing to get you guys to take a look at my letter to the editor in the Coal valley news.It should be interesting because it's about this exact subject written today. Dear Denny,
