On Wednesday
July 30, 2014 coal supporters from around the country will
be converging on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to rally for the coal industry. This
rally will be taking place on the eve of EPA hearings on its new “Clean Power
Plan” which will be held in Pittsburgh on July 31 and August 1.
Let’s be candid: Spending half a day at a “Rally” isn’t
something most of us want to do.
However, the current reality is
that the positive message of Coal is not being heard. The perceived negatives of Coal are far more “newsworthy” than the
positives. It takes a rally or a march (or worse) to get attention. So, we will rally. We will throw-up in our
mouth a bit. But, we will rally.
We will stand up for low
cost coal-fueled electricity. The power companies won’t do it. The business
community that benefits from low cost electricity won’t do it. And, families
don’t realize the impact of looming higher electricity costs on their lives. So,
we will have to rally for all of them.
Some of us may not realize
that we play an important role in providing the coal that powers our homes and
businesses. Your partnership with R G Johnson helps us to provide safe, high
quality, and low cost services to coal producers-which helps keep electricity
prices low for everyone.
