Walker Machinery, CTL, Clean Carbon Neutral Coal
Posted on November 17, 2008 | By Denny Tyler | 2 Comments
Before I start on Walker Machinery I just wanted to say that Beth Walker didn’t make it onto the State Supreme Court – thank God for small favors. With the last post – I’m happy with the turnout. McCain & Palin did win WV, who would’ve thought? That’s all I have to say about that.
I never turn my radio on although I am quite fond of country music. The reason I never turn it on is because of all the friends of coal ads. You can’t listen to the radio for a half an hour on a local country station without hearing some sort of BS from the coal industry. Case in point – I was in a vehicle the other day and the person driving had the radio tuned to a local country station. I wasn’t in the vehicle longer than twenty minutes but it was long enough to hear Walker’s latest commercial.
REFRESHER – Walker Machinery is a major, if not the top, local supplier of heavy equipment to mountaintop removal sites. I have described them before as being the little scavenger fish swimming alongside the shark. You know those little fish that are there just to get whatever scraps they can from the shark which in this case is the coal industry.
If I was a little scavenger fish depending on scraps from a bigger fish, I’d try my best to guide that big fish toward fruitful waters. Where am I going with this? Walker Machinery has now started promoting coal to liquids (CTL) in the same commercial as clean, carbon neutral coal.
Walker Machinery will do/say anything to keep us locked into the vicious cycle of coal. For no reason other than their scraps (the bottom line). Selfish bastards if you ask me.
I challenge anybody from Walker Machinery to point me in the direction of proof to clean, carbon neutral coal. Where is it? What is it? Who discovered it? How long have you known about it? How come nobody else knows or is talking about it? Is there scientific evidence, outside the reach of the coal industry, in which the average Joe can read up on clean, carbon neutral coal? Please don’t tease us with something that, from all appearances, seems utterly impossible. Hell, I don’t know about anybody else but I’d pay to see a pile of white coal. So Walker – where’s the beef?
Our remnants of wilderness will yield bigger values to the nation’s character and health than they will to its pocketbook, and to destroy them will be to admit that the latter are the only values that interest us. – Aldo Leopold

lol – that’s funny Folk. If there is such a thing as clean carbon neutral coal I’d say you pinned it’s location.
BTW – I’m back – just had to get away from the ignorance for a bit.
