About that Clean Water and Air in West Virginia

There is much about environmental sciences/climate change debate that I do not know much about. The water and air in West Virginia? That I know about.

The absentee governor of the great state of West Virginia ventured forth from the rock he has been hiding under to Skype with the President’s favorite TV show, Fox and Friends. Though delivered in his usual, barely coherent style, there was one tidbit of the interview that perked my attention.

There is much about environmental sciences, the climate change debate, and associated things that I do not know much about. I read about it, discuss and debate it online and in person, and like other topics of the day do my level best to be as informed as I possibly can be on it. Or at least, as informed as I can be almost exclusively through the magic of the interwebs. I have had classes that touched on environmental issues, and being a transportation guy by trade I’m not completely oblivious to the wider world around me.
