Every executive officer involved in this fiasco should placed in the same cell with Bernie Madhoff.

And as the resident Fire Captain who works on regulating these businesses, the State Fire Marshal should also be asked why that agency failed. The state has adopted a National Fire Protection Association/ANSI standard that specifically required engineered containment structures. The state environmental agency could have required the same under the Oil Pollution Act (40 CFR 119).

Right, because West Virginia has such good retraining programs in place for 4th generation miners.

It's not in a great position to reinvent itself to attract new industries or become Silicon Hollow. The one real asset it has is the spectacularly beautiful landscape. If they can resist the urge to wreck all the rivers and strip all the mountains and Frackville the Appalachian to death, it could be a great destination.

I am oddly OK with that, being of the outlawish persuasion.
