Coal states Virginia , Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana and more

Add Illinois and Missouri to that list. Illinois is lost, I know, but the Big MO isn't. And aside from that Arch Coal and Peabody who control most of the coal are headquartered here. And it's not like it's 1939 and the Illinois soft coal dust is completely blocking sunlight (yes, that did actually happen here).

Coal is a big industry in western ND, eastern WY and MT...
Wonder is this would change the votes there...
When I was in ND there were massive(100+cars)coal trains...

It was like that all the time?
