Think of it as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic....because they all are going down.

 

Gore's challenge is doable and we need to be part of his grass roots movement to be sure it happens here.

 

We have a challenge.  Thirty years after the first methane power plant was built on a landfill, Charleston is negotiating to build one.  That will be the first one in West Virginia, one of the last States to have at least one.

 

So we have a challenge to get the citizens of this State out of the 1950's

 

As I say in most of my talks about global warming, Quebec survived the death of the asbestos mining industry, upon which they counted for 30% of the provincial revenues.  West Virginia can too, but it is we who must continue to talk positively that we can and must make the transition to renewable energy.

 

I am up to it.
