Why is it that the Appalachian Restoration Act has not progressed? I suspect we all know the reasons. It’s called the power of capitalism.

The great “green” dollar needs to be renamed to the filthy “black” dollar. Also, The State of West Virginia needs to think about changing its name from the Mountain State to the Moonscape State. It obvious what the “Commonwealth” of Kentucky should be renamed to – Coalwealth(?)
