Don Blankenship was caught on tape running his mouth about what atheists and communists his opponents are. When Barack Obama and John McCain both agree that we need to act on climate change AND stop mountaintop removal, Blankenship is truly a lost voice in the wilderness. SO, he does what anybody in a losing political position would do, he screams and calls a majority of the country Osama Bin Laden.
Kevin at Desmog asks the perfect question:
How can we convince a Blankenship that his company has to deal with things like carbon, mercury and nitrogen oxide emissions when he thinks climate change is a lie and people who care about the environment are crazy “Greeniacs”?
