Which is more realistic? Bringing back coal or turning the whole state into one big open air amusement park?

    Coal is awesome despite the evil garden gnomes who sell it and the even more evil garden gnomes who concern troll about it.

    Even the waste from the use of coal and mining it are important raw materials.

        This seems to be also preventable.

        awesome how?

        Besides what I already mentioned, cheap abundant energy, easily converted into hydrogen, ammonia, methanol and many others, emissions from using it as an energy source can be easily controlled, ...

      Virginia here.

      We don't want West Virginia.

      Virginia is the Massachusetts of the south.

    Coal is so fucking dirty and the only viable way to clean it is with chemicals. Otherwise, tons of mercury is put into the air which pollutes rivers and streams. It's a shame since there are 1000s of years of coal left.

    If this country and its regulators weren't absolutely corrupt, WV could lead the way in coal thorium extraction.

    Don't let the thread die. Thorium extraction could revitalize our main industry.

        Extraction from coal is not economically viable at this point but it would be the lifeline for the industry. Efforts could and should be made to improve the process but, politics require US to favor uranium. Just throwing it out there. Manchin is too beholden to special interests to make any waves.
