Frankly, during the Quecreek disaster, I was so impressed with how then-Governor Richard Schweiker stayed at the mine 24/7, I was hoping he'd go for higher office! Too many governors, even though being a "cheerleader" IS part of the job, just wouldn't have bothered.
I just don't have a good feeling about this one, though - and we are much more dependent upon coal than most people are willing to admit!
