This morning we got on route 3 at 4:30 AM in order to make it out of Coal River Valley and up to WVU at Morgantown by 10 AM. One of the guys who works for Coal River Mountain Watch is a local from Whitesville, and the HOBY program for WV tenth graders asked him to participate on a panel addressing WV energy issues. The representative for the umbrella coal organization was also there, and it was interesting to hear his answers to the kids' questions. He emphasized certain things over and over ("I'm proud to represent this industry," or "The good men who work in the mines...") and brushed over topics of mine safety, energy efficiency, and public health problems.
