James O"Keefe took his Project Veritas to the campaign of Alison Lundergan Grimes and to no one's surprise found that neither Grimes or her supporter give a tinker's damn about the coal miners who will lose their jobs due to Obama's war on coal. To the point that coal is already dead-bunk. It is doubtful that another coal fired power plant will be built in the U.S. but very few industrialized countries are energy independent and nowhere has fracking been able to produce the results that it has here. Demand for coal in India and China remains strong and Japan is eschewing nuclear energy in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.
For Grimes to succeed in her career thousands of others must lose theirs. If Republicans regain the Senate coal has the strongest proponent it has had Robert Byrd in Mitch McConnell. With Republicans in control of both Houses of Congress jobs at the EPA will be more imperiled than those in the coal fields.
