Remember awhile back I said that Natural Gas will be the next energy producer in their sights?
First go after "dirty" coal. Now they are going after what they used to call the clean alternative, natural gas.
This is what we get for voting these anti-American socialists into office.

Brandishing chainsaws
Someone took our advice. The EnviroNazis are upset that someone was walking around with a chainsaw under the trees where they are illegally perched.....trying to save the planet, of course.
EnviroNazi "news" release here.
"Stocks and Steepleton have endured 24-hour sleep deprivation tactics and the brandishing of a chainsaw. All day and all night Massey security personnel have flashed bright lights, sounded air horns, and banged loudly on metal buckets in an effort to prevent the tree sitters from getting any sleep. “The security guards' actions with the lights and air horns are making the situation less safe,” Climate Ground Zero and Mountain Justice volunteer Charles Suggs said. “Depriving sleep from people who have to maintain safety systems to prevent a fatal fall endangers their lives.”"
If you were really concerned about a fatal fall, one way to ensure this would not happen would be to stay on the ground.

EnviroNazis to invade West Virginia
Here is a group of EnviroNazis putting out a call for more of their ilk to join them.

Here's how to deal with the one remaining (literal) tree hugger.

EnviroNazis invade Racoon's crib
PETTRY BOTTOM, W.VA. — It's day two of their treetop protest, and two activists trying to stop mountaintop removal mining say they don't plan to leave.
Nick Stocks and Laura Steepleton remained on platforms Wednesday, more than 80 feet above the ground near Massey Energy's Edwight mine in Raleigh County.
They want Virginia-based Massey to stop blasting mountain ridges to get the coal underneath.
They're within 300 feet of the blasting zone, and state law prohibits blasting when people are that close.
Two protesters on the ground were cited for trespassing, but police have not attempted to approach Stocks or Steepleton.
Police say they worry about safety, but the protesters affiliated with Climate Ground Zero say they're tied to the trees.
This reminds me of another protester in a tree that fell and acquired brain damage...the question at the time was, was this a pre-existing condition?

Gannett News thinks Zach Space is a conservative
One among many reasons that no one takes the "media" serious.
Zach Space just voted for the largest tax increase in US history. Voted with the EnviroNazis in killing our coal based jobs. Voted to raise utility rates....this is just the highlights of the cap and tax bill that Space voted for.
Yet, Gannett News labels him a conservative? What planet are they on? Well, it is the Washington bureau after all.
"WASHINGTON - Ohio Rep. Zack Space, along with several other conservative HouseDemocrats

Here come the canned letters to the editors supporting Space
Newark Advocate
This bill is investing more than $100 billion dollars in clean coal technology, thanks in large part to Congressman Space."
Chillicothe Gazette
These are just two. You'd think that they'd at least try to change the form letters and add their own words.
So Zach Space voted to ensure our energy independence and actually help the coal industry? What planet are these people on?
How is voting to increase costs for businesses that use coal going to help the coal industry?
How is increasing our cost of living due to increased electricity rates, higher gas prices...to name a few, a good thing?
What is really going to hammer folks in Ohio and West Virginia the most is the increased electricity costs. Now we can use cheap energy buried directly under us. By increasing the costs to mine and burn coal, our electricity rates will increase. No one knows how much.
Zach Space voted to increase your cost of living and at the same time increase unemployment in his own district by harming a major employer, coal.
Dumb! Just what did Nancy Pelosi promise him to make him vote against his own district's interests?
As for the letter writers telling the world that Zach Space voted for this monstrosity of a bill....please keep it up.
"My congressman, Zack Space, has been particularly hard hit by the criticism for voting "yes" on the American Clean Energy and Security Act, and I think it's unjust.
Chillicothe Gazette
"Once again, Congressman Zack Space has stood up for us by voting for an energy bill that will help begin the process of securing our nation's energy independence.
Space voted for this legislation because it secures a future for Ohio's coal industry. By investing more than $100 billion in clean coal technology, Ohio will be a leader in energy production thanks to our coal industry."These are just two.

Space says one thing then votes another
"Space feels the bill will help America move in the direction of energy independence."
Um, why then, would you vote to limit the use of our own energy? Why would you vote to increase business costs?
This guy is clueless!

The EnviroNazi hypocrites need to leave the grid
If coal is so bad, the EnviroNazis need to take their own advice and lead the way off the grid.
In 2000, 90% of Ohio's electricity (I've heard it's 87.5% now) was generated by coal burning power plants.
If they truly feel that this is a huge hazard, they need to turn their electric breaker off 90% of the time.
They could spend the extra time blowing weed or something else productive....like the women shaving their legs.
What hypocrisy to use electricity generated by coal to tell us how bad coal is for us! If they really cared about the people around the power plants (if you believe their faked health concerns for us) they'd quit using electricity from the grid.
Again the same argument (all the EnviroNazi groups (a couple of days ago it was the Sierra Club) must get the same talking points faxed to them) about jobs being given to folks outside of Meigs County.
"However, Belz believes that it is no guarantee that the jobs would go to people in Meigs County, and that people from out of town would be the ones most likely to take charge.
"When the Mountaineer Power Plant in West Virginia was being put up, they came in from out of town," she said. "Those weren't local jobs that were being given out.""
Rest of OU Post's story here
And again, there are only so many trained pipe fitters, steel workers, boiler makers, etc in Meigs County. Just because Meigs County won't be able to supply all the manpower needs does not mean this is not a great economic boost for the county.
They're really getting desperate to stop this plant. It would not surprise anyone if they resorted to more drastic / direct action. That would be a mistake.
One more thing. It's nice to finally see our State Representative Debbie Phillips start weighing in on this. I guess late is better than never. It must be awful being an EnviroNazi at heart and having to support coal. You've come a long way baby, er Debbie from your Walmart protesting days.

EnviroNazi propoganda explained
The Pomeroy Daily Sentinel story
The EnviroNazis are definitely persistent.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. "
Joseph Goebbels.
Strange how our EnviroNazis and the German National Socialists think a lot alike.
"An amendment to the state worker’s compensation budget which could significantly reduce construction costs for the proposed American Municipal Power Generating Station is being call “another unfair Ohio perk for coal” by the Sierra Club."
Yep, that's the last thing we want to do is make it easier for employers to do business in Ohio!
"The amendment, supported by Ohio Sen. Jimmy Stewart (R-Albany), is said to save AMP-Ohio $20-25 million on construction costs by allowing the company to apply for self-insured status with the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation."
Good job Sen. Stewart. It's not rocket science, if we can help a company reduce costs associated with doing business in Ohio, the greater chance they'll employ Ohioans.
"said Nachy Kanfer, with Sierra Club’s ‘Beyond Coal Campaign’ in Ohio. “The Governor should use a line-item veto on this short-sighted subsidy."
The Sierra Club only pretends to care about Meigs county residents when they can twist an argument in their favor. They don't care if you're unemployed.
"The Sierra Club also said in its statement “this development raises new doubts regarding AMP-Ohio’s commitment to its workers;"
Oh yes, that's what it means. AMP doesn't care for it's workers because it's financially capable of self insurance. Remember, these people are not really brain dead. They want to stop all coal, including clean coal technology. They'll do and say anything to stop it.
"Temporary housing would only be needed if AMP-Ohio intended to hire large numbers of workers from outside the local area of the plant. The unemployment rate for Meigs County was 14.1 percent in May.”"
Um, if Meigs county can't supply all the steel workers, pipe fitters, equipment operators, etc, etc....AMP should not build the plant in Meigs county because all the labor won't come from Meigs? Is there some new requirement where one has to work in the county they reside?
"The unemployment rate for Meigs County was 14.1 percent in May.”"
Yes, and the EnviroNazis want to keep it that way.

Zach Space votes for largest tax increase in US history
What is he thinking? He votes for this EnviroNazi, job killing, rate hiking bill....
He really must not want to be re-elected.
His district is in the heart of Ohio coal country and he votes to kill coal mining and the jobs that go with it. Is the UMW listening?
Not only did he vote to kill coal jobs, he also voted to raise your electric bill, your gas bill.
Why do I call it a tax? Because it is government (idiocy) induced rate increases. Just when the economy needs a boost, Obama and Space slap it back down by increasing costs on businesses...which mean higher prices and less jobs for you.
Here's what the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation said about this bill:
Here's the alternative to anti-American Zach Space: Jeanette Moll

Here's what the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation said about this bill:
"When the Heritage Foundation did its analysis of Waxman-Markey, it broadly compared the economy with and without the carbon tax. Under this more comprehensive scenario, it found Waxman-Markey would cost the economy $161 billion in 2020, which is $1,870 for a family of four. As the bill's restrictions kick in, that number rises to $6,800 for a family of four by 2035.
Note also that the CBO analysis is an average for the country as a whole. It doesn't take into account the fact that certain regions and populations will be more severely hit than others -- manufacturing states more than service states; coal producing states more than states that rely on hydro or natural gas. Low-income Americans, who devote more of their disposable income to energy, have more to lose than high-income families."

Fascist's Greed
Great comments about the "energy" bill being bantered about in Congress. As far as I know, Zack Space still can't make up his mind about this massive job killing bill. Previous post here.
The Intelligencer, Wheeling News - Register story. (don't you love it when newspapers try to keep all the names of those papers they've bought in the past in their new name? I'll bet they use a lot of ink trying to put all the names on their top fold.)
Comments from oldsteelmaker:
"Cap and trade will guarantee that blast furnace will never run again. It will also destroy Mountain State Coke. One ton of coke makes three and a half tons of carbon dioxide. Since the proposed "fee" will be more than the profit on the steel made, no one will make steel here anymore. If you have no blast furnaces, who needs coke?

Despite all the claims, no one has shown a cause-and-effect relationship between human generated carbon dioxide and climate conditions. There's a lot of handwaving and smoke and mirrors, but the recent data shows distinctly different results compared to the models. If it's supposed to be getting warmer, why is the average temp dropping? We did not see the peak temps get near the records in the 1930's, and they are going down.
So why is this happening? Pelosi's husband was a big investor in Boone Pickens' wind farm venture. She wants to see that make money. Gore will make millions trading the credits.
Greed."

What is Congressman Zack Space thinking?
He actually voted for the job killing / tax increasing "cap and trade" bill in committee?
He represents the heart of Ohio coal country and he supports a bill like this?
Even our socialist Congressman Charlie Wilson (6th district) says he's against it....though he's so short sighted that one would think all Obama would have to do to change his mind would be to donate a couple of cans of sardines to a "food" bank in his district.
Jeanette Moll would be a much better Representative for the 18th district.

Bishop, Republicans roll out energy vision
Sounds good to me, other than the obvious wind and solar bologna.
The Salt Lake Tribune story
A couple of comments:
"House Republicans unveiled their vision for the nation's energy policy Wednesday calling for 100 new nuclear plants, the expansion of renewable energy sources and fast track mining of oil shale in places like Utah. "
Nuclear is safe and cheap. Even the French have the courage to use Nuclear energy on a massive scale. Obama recently said he thinks it's OK for Iran to use Nuclear reactors to produce energy, but he's against it in our own country. Is his sole desire to destroy our nation? No coal, no nuclear, no oil from shale....but we have wind on windy days we can use and sun on sunny days......!
"Republicans are vehemently opposed to the bill, calling it "a national energy tax" or as Bishop says "a cap-and- tax" system that he warns could cost jobs."
Yes it will be a massive job killing tax increase. Again, is obama's plan to destroy our nation?
"New Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, of Colorado, has been an outspoken critic of oil shale development, saying the technology is not advanced enough to economically turn the rock into a usable fuel."
Um, that's up to the markets, not a Washington Bureaucrat.

Two stories about stone age EnviroNazis trying to keep us unemployed
From the Pomeroy Daily Sentinel:
Thunder rolls at AMP meeting
AMP reacts to latest hearing
I still here AMP and UMW folks talking like if you just compromise a little, like talking about wind and solar, that the EnviroNazis will see that coal is not the only energy being used for electricity by AMP, then lighten up.
Well, how many times do we need to remind folks, the EnviroNazis don't care about clean coal, they want NO coal. They don't care about you being unemployed, they don't care that coal is cheap and makes inexpensive electricity.
These are National Socialists and want control. They don't care one bit about us locally. They want to stop progress, period. Then when energy has to be rationed (like they want to do with health care BTW), they will be the ones telling us who gets the energy and how to use it,...."responsibly" you know.

Debbie Phillips = more government
Great post at One Oar in the Water blog.
Just cut taxes and let private business grow instead of growing government.
Another point he touched on, I haven't heard Debbie Phillips promoting clean coal. Why not?
Why isn't she having press conferences supporting the AMP plant in Meigs?
We all know the reason, she does not support coal.

EnviroNazis VII
Below is video of one of our outside protesters.
Previous post
He's Ivan (how appropriate) Stiefel. He's getting a Brower Youth Award for attempting to keep good paying jobs away from unemployed people in Meigs County and creating a quasi terrorist organization called "mountain justice".
Count how many times he says "collective".
"planning collective", "community organizers", drinking from a "community gourd", collective liberation, etc..."
"Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever." Vladimir Lenin
Apparently so!

EnviroNazis II
It's nice to know that Cleveland based anti-jobs Ohio Citizen Action cares so much about Meigs county that they want to keep us poor.
There's no one on their board that is even from Meigs county..........or even a neighboring county.
"LETART FALLS — American Municipal Power-Ohio has taken issue with two opponents of their $3.25 billion power plant after what it feels are “multiple false statements” about the project allegedly made by Elisa Young of Racine and Meigs Citizen Action Now, and Sandy Buchanan, executive director of Ohio Citizen Action."

More good news in Meigs County
Meigs County producing coal once again.
"According to a Gatling spokesperson, the slope at the Yellowbush Mine touched coal on Jan. 29 and the room-and-pillar operation is now producing coal. Though the production of coal at the site is not operating at full capacity while in its mine development production mode, make no mistake about it, coal is being mined in Meigs County once again. When the mine is operating at full capacity, Gatling, Ohio LLC hopes to produce 3.5 million marketable tons of coal per year."
