West Virginia coal country is "booming". The price of coal has more than doubled over the last 6 years and mines are re-opening and such. This is probably due to Bush and China, among other things. The whole Sago mine accident overshadows the prosperity seen in parts of West Virginia becuase of coals resurgence. Is coal really such a blessing to the area?
Appalachia is the poorest area of the country....
I am not sure where to go from here. I will try again later.

Bush Signs MINER Act Into Law The article says this a great improvement for mine safety. Up to this point, the Bush Administration has been reducing fines and rolling back environmental regulations. While this article may be good for the people, I have doubts that it will be good for the communities surrounding mines.
