Or at least, that's what the EnviroNazis think you should think.
Thankful for news that plans to build coal plant have been scrapped

Meigs democrats and Cordray
Pomeroy Daily Sentinel story below.
A couple of thoughts.
Cordray keynotes Kennedy Day dinner; A.G. back from Supreme Court arguments in Spizak case
A couple of thoughts.
- So Cordray is pro-death penalty as well as pro-gun? Yet the Ohio GOP wants us to support Mike DeWine for the Republican Attorney General nominee over Dave Yost? This makes absolutely no sense. Cordray is no raving lunatic typical democrat. Mike DeWine and his anti-gun voting record will have no chance against Cordray. And, well, why would republicans vote for a pretend republican that sounds like Ronald Reagan when he's campaigning, but votes like Ted Kennedy when we was in Washington? The Ohio GOP must think we can't remember when DeWine was our Senator. Dave Yost is the only choice for the GOP nomination. If we're voting in a GOP primary, I suspect that people will vote for the real GOP member, not the fake.
- Remember when Debbie Phillips was running for the 92nd district and every other word out of her mouth was "Ted Strickland" this or that? Why doesn't she remind everyone that she and Ted are tied at the hip now? Could it be she doesn't want to have the same fate he will have at the polls in 2010?
Cordray keynotes Kennedy Day dinner; A.G. back from Supreme Court arguments in Spizak case
State Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Athens, introduced Cordray. Party Chairman Henry Hunter served as master of ceremonies at the Riverbend Arts Council.
Cordray appeared before the Supreme Court panel on Oct. 14, to argue that the death sentence of a man convicted in a Cleveland triple murder should be reinstated. It was Cordray’s first time before the U.S. high court as Ohio’s lead attorney, but not the first in his career. He argued five other cases before his election to state office.
Frank Spizak, described by the Associated Press as a flamboyant neo-Nazi, was convicted of murdering three men at Cleveland State University 25 years ago.
Cordray told justices during oral arguments that Spisak had a fair trial and deserves death and urged the high court to reverse a federal appeals court ruling that found Spisak's trial lawyer was ineffective and that his jury received faulty sentencing instructions.
The Attorney General used his experience last week as an example of the work he does as Ohio’s top legal official. His office oversees the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, and he also discussed the close relationship between state and local law enforcement, training programs and undercover investigations.
Cordray also promoted the AG’s office’s consumer protection services, and the toll-free number consumers can call if they feel they have been subject to consumer fraud: (800) 282-0515.
In her remarks prior to introducing the Attorney General, Rep. Phillips focused on signs of economic recovery in the region, but also acknowledged the impatience of some that the economy has not recovered sooner.
She noted that all three districts will receive extra state funding and stimulus money, and that recent legislation relating to school funding has placed Ohio’s public schools “on track to being constitutional.”
Phillips noted that the final phases of the Nelsonville Bypass, which got under construction last week, are the largest state transportation project funded by federal stimulus funds, and noted recent permit approvals for the American Municipal Power plant to be built in Meigs County is another sign of economic progress.
Hunter pointed to a reduction in home foreclosure rates and a recent boost in the stock market, and commended President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders for their work in advancing the cause of universal health care.

If any crime deserves the death penalty, it's this one
So, of course, it's plea bargained to life with a chance for parole!
"POMEROY — Charles Williams admitted to the robbery and murder of Doris Jackson, a longtime family friend, to a three-judge panel Wednesday.
Jackson was reported missing from her Tuppers Plains home in late February. Three days later, her body was found in her dining room beneath a pile of her personal belongings. Her car, stolen along with firearms, jewelry, cash and other items, was recovered at an apartment complex on Richland Avenue in Athens.
Jackson was strangled and bludgeoned to death. When investigators discovered her body, her throat had been cut and her hands bound with a telephone cord. Williams admitted yesterday that he, alone, was responsible for Jackson’s death, but said Garnes had helped plan the robbery which went awry on Feb. 23, and that two others had transported him to Jackson’s home and helped dispose of evidence of the robbery and murder.
Only Williams and Garnes have been charged in the case."
WHY? I hope that names were supplied to law enforcement on these two before any plea bargain was agreed to.
Williams deserves the death penalty, Garnes needs life without parole and the unnamed other two need life sentences.

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.

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.

More EnviroNazi Propaganda
Bandmonline.com is the online edition of the weekly student-run newspaper at Muskingum College, the Black & Magenta. Apparently student "reporters" can't dig for facts anymore than full time "reporters".
"story" here
"Meigs County is home to four coal-fired power plants" The real answer is "Meigs County is home to ZERO coal-fired power plants"
Pretty substantial discrepancy.
"A lie told often enough becomes the truth." Vladimir Lenin
"Community members are actively resisting the threat to create up to five more proposed coal-fired plants in the area."
Could be a true statement, however this is more true..... the vast majority of Meigs county citizens support the AMP power plant. All Meigs County elected officials support it as well. A few local citizens are against the power plant, but most opposition is from outside radicals that want no coal burned in the US.

"a bit of monkey wrenching could significantly raise the costs of coal-fired power"
You need to read this blog post at an EnviroNazi blog.
They are actually comparing their EnviroNazi movement to the civil rights movement on the 50's and 60's.
"I cannot count the number of times I have heard the climate justice movement compared to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. There are commonalities. We too, at our core, are a movement seeking to bring about a society in which “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” are guaranteed to all people, present and future. However, while the stories we tell share a common goal, they begin in different places. Thus, when we employ tactics such as civil disobedience, we are breaking the law in a very different context. In order for us to come to an understanding of civil disobedience in the climate justice movement, I’d like to draw out some distinctions between the implications of civil disobedience as used in the civil rights movement, the environmental (save the trees and animals) movement, and then come back to climate justice."
In the comments posts, they are talking about sabotaging our country's energy supply.
"Excellent post. I’m wondering how long it will take until we come to the next logical step: monkey wrenching. It seems to me that we should be there already. Why would this make sense? Because a bit of monkey wrenching could significantly raise the costs of coal-fired power, thereby making it less attractive and shifting investment into more climate friendly alternatives. Let’s say, for example, that it became necessary to have guards at all the railway bridges from Wyoming to Georgia over which the trains run hauling coal to the southeastern power plants."
This is the next logical step, as they say. Nothing but SA like storm troopers for the Marxists...and they are too blind to see that they are being used.

EnviroNazi training camp
May 17-23, 2009: Mountain Justice Training Camp
Some of these folks are the same ones protesting the AMP power plant in Meigs county.

Foreclosure hike ranks Meigs 2nd
Meigs County had Ohio’s second-largest increase in the rate of foreclosures last year
One more reason Meigs county citizens need to get active and support AMP.
They also need to actively oppose the EnviroNazis who are trying to keep good jobs from coming to one of the poorest counties in the state.

What have our Meigs County porta-protestors been up to?
Getting arrested in Tennessee.
One thought...sort of unrelated. Why do we call the WWII generation the "greatest generation" when they spawned our anti-American hippies? Then they spawned the EnviroNazis....
I'm rethinking the "greatest generation" thing.

Meigs AMP "permit to install" issued by OEPA
This is one of many permits required.
Pomeroy Daily Sentinel story
They've already obtained:
Pomeroy Daily Sentinel story
They've already obtained:
- the air permit-to-install (finalized February 2008)
- National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (finalized November 2008)
- 401 Water Quality Certification (finalized January)
- Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need-Generation Facility (finalized March 2008)
- OPSB Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need-Transmission Line (finalized November 2008)
"An application for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit remains pending and the final air and NPDES permits are being appealed by various opponents of the project. "
I wonder if this is why the Roman Empire fell? Permitted themselves out of existence?
Notice the EnviorNazis are still throwing up road blocks to stop these new jobs from coming to Meigs County.
Where's Debbie Phillips? Is she trying to facilitate the permitting process? One doubts it. She protested the Walmart being built in Athens of all things!

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 VI
Another group of outsiders against jobs in Meigs County.
Here's Elisa Young, again, leading a "Toxic Tour" of Meigs County. These folks are from Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus.
Yet, every elected official in Meigs County is in favor of the AMP plant.
One would think that the voters of Meigs, through their elected representatives, could make up their own minds on this issue without outside agitators.

EnviroNazis IV
Pomeroy Daily Sentinel story
"The Sierra Club has requested the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency become involved in the regulatory process for Mountaineer’s CCS."
The Sierra Club knows they can't sway Gov. Manchin in West Virginia to cut his state's throat with crazy rules, they are now trying to get Ohio's EPA to try to stop this coal power plant in West Virginia. They will stop at nothing and they have no shame.
If you haven't noticed the Sierra Club's modus operandi yet, here it is.
Make private companies spend millions / billions of dollars to install scrubbers or other devices to reduce the amount of the so called green house gases.
Then when the companies try to obtain permits to run these new devices (that were demanded by the EnviroNazis to begin with) they put up road blocks to slow down or stop the implementation.
They want us to use NO COAL period. It should be obvious by now. The public and our power companies (which we need, by the way) should not bow to these earth worshipers.
They say they care about Meigs county and neighboring counties, they don't, they want to keep us poor and dependent on government handouts. They're not even from here as detailed in a previous post.
On a side note, has anyone wondered why West Virginia is coasting through this economic downturn? Could it be that they have a conservative Governor
that doesn't spend outside WV's ability to repay? The other reason could be that WV is sitting on massive amount of black gold and they do not let the EnviroNazis scare them. We could learn from our friends to the southeast.

Slopping the hogs in Athens County
More spending funny money from this so called "stimulus" bill. It's actually a stimulus bill for government at all levels.
"THE OU AIRPORT has asked for $3,193,575 to “remove obstructions in runway approaches, improve aircraft parking apron, and install approach lighting.”"
Athens News story
In Meigs County and Washington County.
This is nothing more than buying your vote with your own money.
I'm still waiting for our Congressman, Charlie (Pork Belly) Wilson, to start saying no to deficit spending. I thought he was supposed to be a "conservative" democrat?
