Sanders: Support coal country while combating climate change

[TexasTowelie]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has told voters in coal-producing Kentucky that it's possible to be a friend of coal miners and a believer in climate change and the need for cleaner energy sources to combat it.

In blunt terms rarely heard in Kentucky's political circles, the Vermont senator said Sunday on a stop in Kentucky that bold action is needed to confront the dangers from climate change. That course of action should include turning away from fossil fuels to curb greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming, he said.

"Climate change is real," Sanders told a crowd of supporters during a speech on Sunday in Louisville. "Climate change is caused by human activity. And climate change is causing devastating harm in our country and throughout the world."

Sanders said he recognizes that many Kentuckians have long relied on coal mining to support their families.

1. Perhaps He Hasn't Heard Of The Coal Bankrupticies

which leaves the miners with checks they can't cash. Perhaps he should ask those miners, who are keeping a coal train from delivering until they get paid, what he should do. Theirs are backbreaking jobs which literally kill them so maybe he could come up with a solution for them which doesn't include coal. They need real help and coal isn't it.
