#1 And half of them, having been told straight up that is what's going to happen, will vote for her anyway...

#2 It's interesting to me that most people don't know that coal is used for much more than burning. Coal gasification plants provide raw materials for a wide variety of products from plastics to pharmaceuticals to even acetic acid (vinegar). Panderella here needs to get educated but that's not gonna happen.

#3 her policies would “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” There's a sure vote-getting message. But as M. Murcek said, they will probably vote for her anyway (multiple times).

The coal states have gone Republican since 2008. They know who took away their jobs and why, and the poor folk on welfare who might have continued voting Democratic don't bother to vote.

#7 The pain spreads, too. Eastern railroads are laying off workers and closing facilities as the coal traffic falls off. So there's less money to be spent at Burger King and Walmart, housing prices decline, etc. It's the Detroit-ification of the region.

#8 I thought Obama promised that 8 years ago?.... Another promise broken I guess. Is anyone still counting?

#9 Obama made a big down payment on fulfilling the promise, on all hydrocarbon related industries.
