re: #397 Sir John Barron

Actually read an article today about some coal groups acknowledging climate change, or at least that public opinion believes it, and therefore the coal industry, if it wants to survive, needs to embrace the strategy of the tobacco industry, which eventually bowed to the reality of greater regulation and is still thriving. I’ll try to find it.

Interesting stuff. Honestly, I hope the coal industry declines. It’s just so bad for everyone involved. I do hope that we can help train the miners in new lines of work but I really hope mining can decline in this country.
