Kerry has mentioned getting more money for research on cleaner coal burning technologies when he visited West Virginia. Unfortunately that put the state environmentalists in a bind because that could increase the demand for cooal and lead to more mountaintop removals.
He made the environmentalists happy when he voted against Bryd who supports mountaintop removal mining. The other problem is that mountaintop removal doesn't employ out of work miners. It uses construction workers.
