The energy crisis in West Virginia "I love the current administration but..."

Coal reliant WV - electric bills are exceeding their rent and mortgages

This video is interviews with west Virginia's losing their businesses because the electric bill is higher than the rent. Coal dependent electricity.

They show that scene of coal producers giving Trump a gold trophy.

Their own twisted, worthless identities are entirely tied up in the worship of the Orange Turd. They really would rather starve than admit they were wrong about him.

Of course, the disconnect is embedded in the statement:

I love this Administration.

This Administration is killing the country and the first citizens to feel it are those struggling to keep afloat. The promises from Trump and GOP are empty, hollow and cruel.

Yes, these people made their beds. Still, I found this video hard to watch. Maybe it's because I can envision the entire country drifting in this direction if we don't get a handle on the Epstein/billionaire class, the same group that gutted West Virginia, bought off officials, took a buzz saw to governmental services and are laughing all the way to the bank.

What happens when the nation’s mass media are captive of the same turds who own the nation’s mineral extraction rights.
