Right here from my house I can see 2 Hydro power plants they had to have in our local river....Beaver River..yes they both work ..yes they both produce power and yes our electric bills have gone up just like the rest of the world because the energy is shipped to someplace else..(they did dig out the best fishing hole in the first dam of the Beaver River..from the Ohio..one thing they did accomplish)....I would think they could build one and supply the town it is installed in with a reduced rate.. (ah ha..that was the selling feature..)....now as far as coal mine owned by power plant..and not allowed to do that, why don't they just put the coal company in someone else's name?..Trucking places local do that..because they can't tie up every aspect of the industry, they just open another section in their wife's name...or son..or who ever...but goes into same pocket in the end...and why not employee owned?.Speaking of owning the coal mines in WVa land...but wait I forgot already...Obummer is going to close them all down anyhow....what is his angle?...stop the oil drilling...then shut down coal plants....just where is he going to get the power from?...
