Who wants to be WV?

I did a short piece last week on how some folks in Oregon and Washington state want to develop coal ports to ship Powder River Basin coal from Wyoming and Montana to Asia. The mainbar is here, and the sidebar is here.

To the point: When you got outside coal-producing regions, a lot of people just don't want anything to do with coal. They don't want anything to do with coal. To them it's a mineral that is toxic to the touch and provides nothing good for humanity, so they don't want to be near it, even if it's out of sight.

I guess you could say some folks in Oregon don't want their state becoming West Virginia.

I'll have more to say on the subject when I return from hiatus, which begins tonight.
