the Myth of Clean Coal
Growing up in rural WV I have seen just how clean strip mining is and mountaintop removal is about the worst thing I can think of it is destroying vast swaths of once beautiful forested land as well as peoples lives and livelyhoods. It makes me sick at heart. For the FOOLs in Washington don't give a damn that the Billions in give aways to the oil coal energy corps, we could make low cost loans to put solar wind hybrid systems on just about every home and wind turbines on quite a few mountains.
I know of places where the wind is pretty much 24/7, battery back up power storage at homes and business could handle a lot of the power needed on still or cloudy days and nights.
This mountian destruction is also going to affect the aquafers since they are using so much dynamite it will eventually crack them open and ruin the riverheads.On Coal industry asks for still more handouts, and Washington lends an ear posted 1 year, 7 months ago 6 Responses
