Awareness of Climate Change and coal’s contribution penetrates coal country, makes a few converts
When you don’t have much to lose, truths will out . . .
That Mr. Sturgill is retired may be key to his outspokenness. In the U.S. Senate, we have members about to retire (Jeff Flake, Bob Corker) who have come out swinging against President Trump while their colleagues have remained muted or completely silent at one presidential outrage after another.
Thanks to Mr. Sturgill, I have managed to find another example of what term limits might mean for lawmakers. Or even those in the executive branch. It may be that forcing them to retire will encourage frankness in areas where the prospect of losing donors and losing future elections has been sealing their lips.
