Pretty talk is nice but I want to see the regs implemented and real fines levied. And Blankenship doing some jail time.
This is a good first step, but I worry it won’t be followed up. There was happy talk after the last mining accident. And unfortunately Obama is every bit as close to the coal industry as Bush was (it’s the primary reason he voted for Dick Cheney’s Energy Bill). Still, a good first step.
