Just think if Kentucky had invested early in green energy. The coal miners would have jobs. Martin County would have clean water.
Gov. @MattBevin knows how important it is that we restore coal country to its glory after the Obama War on Coal. That’s why he’s agreed to commit 100% of coal severance money to the counties who generate it! #KYGovpic.twitter.com/ZIAgWewYF2

Nobody will go back to using coal. Period. As equipment ages and is replaced, the new equipment will always transition out of coal. Nobody who replaced coal with a different energy source will go back and repurchase and reinstall coal equipment. Get real.

If we would all finally switch to renewable (solar) energy, people working in the coal business can be trained to install it & maintain it, giving them a better job, a safer job than the coal mines. We have to save this planet & they can help do that & save themselves too.

Empty promises - again. Give people real hope for the future for a change instead of painting rainbows on closed coal mines.

How exactly is he going to bring back the glory days of coal? Is Bevin going to force coal companies to not use mechanization in order to bring back the jobs of the glory days of coal? Is he going to force people to use coal? Is he going to build mountains full of coal?

To the counties... what has he done for the miners? The people? Bevin cut safety regulations in the mines. People have died. Bevin made getting black lung diagnosis and benefits harder in
