Business leaders discuss challenges, opportunities in energy, education
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS - Coal is king in West Virginia, but that doesn't mean there aren't challenges, the president and chief executive officer of Patriot Coal said Wednesday.
"Clearly, coal is a good business to be in right now, but each cycle brings new challenges," Richard Whiting told business leaders gathered at the 72nd annual meeting of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce at The Greenbrier hotel.
"Every citizen with a vote, every business leader, has an influence on policy of this nation," he said.

Report AbuseYes, we do need coal and coal business leaders in the class rooms again. There is nothing that can destroy brain cells, or produce retardation and deformity in unborn babies faster than a good puff of second-hand coal smoke. "The Hills Has Eyes" shows you what coal has done for West Virginia...let's continue that great progress to a state of total retardation. This November, vote JAMES DAVIS for Governor and he will create the greatest educational system America has ever seen and it will be "Coal Smoke Free".
