Ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk to you about coal
For practically every minute of my life, I’ve been involved in coal. I grew up in a part of Western Kentucky that was then the biggest coal producing area in the country. When I was small, my home town held a “Strawberry Festival,” because the country produced a good part of the nation’s strawberries. By the time I was a teenager, the festival was renamed as the “Coal Festival.” Those strawberry fields were long gone.
