Jimmy Murphy of Sprigg, W.Va. (click here) holds a jar filled with well water from his home on November 15, 2010. He says the water was contaminated with coal slurry by Massey Energy and subsidiary Rawl Sales & Processing.

Massey Energy has killed people. We don't need it. Coal globally is causing death on a regular basis, both, in mining and breathing the pollution.
It may also be doomed. Lieser's boss, Robert Murray, chief executive of Murray Energy Corp, said he fears for the end of coal, prodded by a U.S. president who has promoted wind and solar power while cracking down on emissions from coal-fired power plants....
Massey Energy is the largest coal producer in the country, what does the CEO do? He throws hundreds of thousands of US$ at Rove's GPS. But, does he invest in the mines, the people. For god sake, the schools in these coal towns have coal dust covering them. The ownership and leadership of Massey are bastards. Just that simple.

The American people know what is going on. This is NOT an Obama thing. The people of West Virginia need a new beginning. A solid beginning where their health is valued and their children live healthy lives. That would be a good focus right now.

The American people elected President Obama. It is us that demand there is change in this country in the Energy Sector and the safety of citizens. No one in the USA are sacrificial lambs for industries that should have been shuttered decades ago. If the media wants to pick a fight, then the American people are the ones they need to pick on!
The complaining by Massey and attempting to make this a political issue is pure denial of the status of coal in the USA and globally. It is a filthy industry that lacks the ability to move to the new century in a meaningful. Massey should go begging to the antiquated and dangerous petroleum industry for their subsidies.
