Former President Bill Clinton's visit to Pikeville was a stump speech for wife and Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Topics of interest ranged from energy independence to jobs.
We need to be energy efficient in this country, Clinton told the more than 3,000 that gathered on April 3 at the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center.
Clinton said the nation's current economic crisis is a major concern and that coal can play a big role in the stabilization process.
Clean coal can turn this country around, Clinton said. We can't walk away from coal and its importance to our future in America.
Clinton added learning to turn coal into a major part of the country's fuel source is something that needs immediate attention.
