Dammit -- I wish I could celebrate this

[appalachiablue]

1. Shame Big Energy's in tight now due its power, the local desperation, poverty over generations

and lack of diverse job creation, the obvious. What's it going to take to get off fossil fuel dependence and address climate disaster. Will follow the disappointing news, saw on MSM too. Poor, proud Appalch. Dang.

If interested-Monday thread I saw, replied to last night now in DU Lounge section, page 1: 'I'm GLAD they broke off and formed their own state..' Re WV, photo of young guy invites stereotypical commentary. Same old same old. (The recent DU lengthy article & postings about dumping on Midwest, South brought out a lot. Some surprising to me).
I focused on separation from VA/CSA at onset of Civil War. (I'm both, 1/2 WV, 1/2 VA, know the heritage, good & bad). Since my reply about 50 more Views, no more Comments. Fairly new here, dunno if posters receive/follow later comments. Send a note if you look. Thanks.
