The Dems “war on Coal” has reverberated in central Minnesota too.
We have a coal powered plant in Becker, MN which usually gets coal by railroad trains from Wyoming. This week we woke up to the news that the Becker plant is very low on coal compared to usual. The railroads are constantly moving tanks of crude oil from the Bakken Fields in ND to the refineries in the east. This fall the local farmers were worried they would not be able to get their produce to market because the railroad lines were so crowded with trains transporting oil.
If the Democrats had not stopped the Keystone pipeline, the oil could have been transported that way and not be competing with other commodities needing shipping.
Democrat voters are really too ignorant, too tied to their traditional voting patterns, or simply not interested in learning facts before voting.
I am happy to see that the people in West Virginia, Kentucky, and elsewhere have seen the light - FINALLY. Now if only the idiot leftists in Minnesota would do the same. Freezing in Central Minnesota might wake up some - but in actuality, Central Minnesota is already GOP territory. If it would affect the Twin Cities’ population, then maybe it would wake up the Rip van Winkels living there.
You'd better wake up the Somalis and the Liberians living there, too.
