This is how they introduced the forum to the public:
The Forum on the Future of Energy is a public forum that will include a conversation between Don Blankenship, chairman and CEO of Massey Energy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., president of Waterkeeper Alliance and an environmentalist. During the event, Blankenship and Kennedy will discuss environmental issues and energy policies that have an impact on jobs and the economy as well as national security. The event moderator will be Edwin H. Welch, president of the University of Charleston.
One of the first things to impress, whether you've heard Kennedy speak before or not, is his passion for the subject as well as his knowledge of not only what's going on but the history leading up to. One thing I quickly picked up on from Blankenship is the overused talking points on the fear factor of security of the country, his apparently feeling of his strong patriotism, but really for wealth and thus power alone, he mentions "terrorism and blowing up planes" a number of times while arguing against alternate energy development, as if that is the reason the criminal element of terror justifies the destruction of the Country as we knew it and should be leaving in tack to those who follow as most of it was left, and protected, for us.
Criminal Terrorist comes in many forms of destructive force!!
And this is last nights forum:
To Blankenship on his continued use of "security" and "terrorist blowing up planes" I didn't hear you once say a thing about what this country was highly noted for across the globe, it's leadership in innovations and quality workmenship, nothing was mentioned by you, a corporation head, on leading in developing the New Energy Resources that we can then pass on to the rest of the countries, instead you seem to be belittleing this countries majority citizens, those who actually work, for your greed to be unhindered in it's growth!
Well there are a new generation of Combat Veterans, thanks to your clic of corporate greed, of our present occupations who say "No!" to you and the others like you, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of Operation Free who are pushing back on your destructive leadership and pushing for Alternatives for the National Security of this Country and it's citizens!!
I understand the person or persons at DKOS with the DKGreenroots Series are planning just that a series of posts on the many issues, coal and coal mining being a part of, on these extremely important issues in the coming days. I would hope some use this forum and it's video's in their much better coverage then I can give it.
