27. Well, since Brian Schweitzer is pushing zero-emission coal, it'd put a halt to strip-mining in WV!

Brian Schweitzer, governor of MT, says Montana is the "Saudi Arabia of coal" and there is no need to strip mine tar sands of Alberta or the gas fields of the Arctic or mountaintop removal in West Virginia, when we
mine coal in Montana and pump the CO2 back into the ground.

Of course, most Americans will not care because coal is used to power cities and transit, not suburbs and cars where most Americans live.
