@McConnellPress@jbruggers Except that "War on Coal" doesn't exist. Why all the lies? -
@MetroIssuesLou
@McConnellPress@jbruggers It does exist and we in coal country are living it everyday. -
@soubellshell If there's a war on coal, it's from lower demand from the free market, not from a politician - Blame the invisible hand -
@MetroIssuesLou The coal fired power plant that I get my power from is shutting down because of EPA regs;therefore, less demand.

@soubellshell "Utilities r aggressively ditching coal n favor of nat. gas, which has become cheaper as supplies grow" http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2012/06/14/losing-power.html … -
@MetroIssuesLou Because of the EPA regulations.
-
@soubellshell Nope... higher gas supply, lower cost, increasing public outcries about coal-related pollution (see West End, Louisville). -
@MetroIssuesLou Reports show when we turn the heat on this winter there is not enough natural gas to power everyone.
