Finally, someone in the business world with the guts to say what most of them probably think but are afraid to say for fear of attracting the ire of environmental wackos.
From the New York Sun, Bob Murray, CEO of Murray Energy Corporation :
'Some wealthy elitists in our country,' he told the audience, 'who cannot tell fact from fiction, can afford an Olympian detachment from the impacts of draconian climate change policy. For them, the jobs and dreams destroyed as a result will be nothing more than statistics and the cares of other people. These consequences are abstractions to them, but they are not to me, as I can name many of the thousands of the American citizens whose lives will be destroyed by these elitists' ill-conceived ‘global goofiness' campaigns.'
Is Murray some fatcat who comes from inherited wealth and position (like Al Gore)? No. Like many successful business people, he's worked his way up.
Mr. Murray was a coal miner in Ohio who survived two mining accidents and built funds from a mortgaged house into a private coal mining company with more than 3,000 employees.
