While I tend to view Bob at PC's comments reasonably articulated, I 
somehow can't let this disparity go:

Wassa matta? You think the California hill sides are somehow better 
or more deserving than the W Virginia mountains? Or... maybe you just 
think the California *people* are better or more deserving.

Quite aside from environmental concerns or what is done to 
"magnificent countryside," I seriously doubt, for example, just for 
starters, that any California family's cemetery has been dug up, 
moved, and then lost, by a stupid windmill company.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for using the coal as well, but... gimme 
a break. At least find a different point to argue.
