Jorj......I kinda believe in the whole CO2 thing.

So, when you get into the whole coal thing I'm wondering if it's better to protect the coal industry or should we try to protect the future of the planet.

The U.S. is moving away from coal anyway so I don't think what happens here is going to be that big a factor. China and other new economies are going to be the BIG contributors to CO2 in the future so I don't think U.S. policy is going to make much difference.

I DO think though that if you are going to go after an industry like the coal industry you should make it a special point to HELP any dislocated workers in that industry.
