The idea that we should be well-organized rather than random I enthusiastically support, but I don't see Paul making alternative suggestions. As for the statement that we mustn't threaten the jobs of the honest, hardworking coal miners, are all Americans honest and hard-working, or only those who drive heavy equipment and destroy mountains, claiming they're improving on the natural mountains, making $70,000 a year with a high-school education (while I made $20,000 at my last job with a required college degree). Sure, they'll fight for these jobs, but the trouble is, they have kids. And if we're going to decide that the convenience and wealth of the current generation are all that matters, then we really need to stop reproducing, because the world we're creating will be a nightmare to live on in 50 years; our grandchildren will be struggling to survive, and cursing us with their every breath.

Where are they gonna find work? that pays what coal mineing did.. or better? a good idea: prevent the contstuction of “nu-coal” plants..all of them.. to gain momentum.. then the older ones, cause we dont need coal.. but also keep in mind.. when you shut these places down.. you are taking the jobs of hard working honest american citizens..
