Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : What is needed is a viable alternative to coal as the economic mainstay of the region -- the only economic mainstay.
46% : Until a large-scale replacement industry takes root, the people of deep Appalachia will continue out of desperation to oppose anything that diminishes the coal industry and will express that sentiment at the ballot box.
40% : These people, most of whom have lived there for generations, are not going to just quietly disappear as the coal industry dries up.
