Here's a shock

Not. First, a top coal industry lobbyist doesn't really want to talk much about climate change. I didn't see that one coming.

And here's another shock: as my pal Sean O'Leary in the eastern panhandle points out, the industry doesn't want to talk much about how the market is doing way more to hurt WV coal than the EPA or the black guy with the unusual name in DC.

And this might be a shock to the majority in the US House who vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act about as often as Lady Macbeth washed her hands: poll numbers supporting it are going up, even in Republican districts. More people are inclined to "implement and fix" rather than "repeal and replace."
