What about Illinois ? I think they have a coal institute at SIU dedicated to clean use of Illinois coal. How f’ing mindless can this idiot be ?

How mindless? How about 100% mindless.
This is the 2007 U.S. Coal Production by State & by Rank

1. Wyoming
2. West Virginia
3. Kentucky
4. Pennsylvania
5. Montana
6. Texas
7. Colorado
8. Indiana
9. Illinois
10. North Dakota
11. Virginia
12. New Mexico
13. Utah
14. Ohio

Note that Illinois is #9 in production. Annnnnnd we have 21 active coal mines in IL. That's a lot of jobs that will go ... POOF! .. if numbnutz wins. Plus look at all the swing states in the above.

"Joe The Coal Miner" may be the final nail in Barry O'Bullsit's coffin.

I didn't bookmark the website where I found the coal data. (I Googled 2007 State Coal Ranking.)
