“Don Blankenship 2012”

You do have something there.

I searched and found another recent article about him:

Blankenship Shares Thoughts on Election, Future of Coal

http://www.statejournal.com/story.cfm?func=viewstory&storyid=46861

“West Virginians need to remember what support of Democratic candidates on the national level means: It means supporting such leaders as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., both of whom he contends want to “put West Virginia out of business” by discouraging coal mining.

...

For example, he contended that 96 percent of carbon dioxide emissions come from countries other than the United States. Promoting policies that further restrict domestic industries makes no sense because if the regulations become too burdensome, those companies will move overseas where they will have little or no regulation. Therefore, such stricter regulations actually can lead to more pollution, Blankenship said. “

The article says he didn't have an opinion on the 2008 national election. I guess when both candidates are fighting each other over who is better on global warming, it just makes you throw up your hands and walk away.

His point about companies moving overseas makes so much sense. It was probably what he was referring to as "sophisticated language was over the head of the general public."

When did we go from 25 percent to 4 percent?
