So long as a senator from WV or KY can filibuster just as easily as one from NY or CA, we'll be mining coal. In the modern age there's no reason we should be using it for anything other than stuffing Mitch McConnell's stocking. Remember when they tried to rebrand "coal" as "clean coal"? Classic Frank Luntz shit right there, but even the knuckle draggers saw through that one, it seems, as it kinda went away quickly.
