Sen. Robert Byrd (want something built, name it the Byrd Center and watch the money flow). From his press releases: "With debate on new U.S. energy policy moving forward this week, Senator Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., is working to broker an agreement that would result in the first major federal investment in technology to turn coal into transportation fuel."

Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV. Member: Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.

Rep. Nick Rahall (WV-03) Chair: Committee on Natural Resources.

Rep. Alan Mollohan (WV-01).  From his web site... He opposes politically driven air requirements that place undue burden on Ohio and Monongahela Valley coal and utility industries, arguing that these additional rules steal scores of jobs while yielding only marginal benefits.

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (WV-02).  Doesn't get a pass, but she is a Republican.

My point, while the Democratic Party Leadership is destroying West Virginia for coal profits and "jobs" the Mountain Party of West Virginia is attempting to stop mountain top removal and the destruction of the environment yet gets no support at all.

Things will never change as long as supporting coal is the way you get elected in W VA.
