There is also the concern of contaminates being release in the water. I think these are issues that can be addressed and changed for the better, but I don't think they will get the chance. Our president said that he was going to make is so difficult for coal companies to operate that they will consider shutting down over paying steep fines. He said that our utility bills would necessarily go up. The government will shut it down.
Don't get me started...


We have some of the cleanest coal-fired power plants in the World right here in KY...which produce some of the country's lowest energy costs. Obama and his EPA would love nothing more than for them to have to shut down, convert to Natural Gas....more expensive...would destroy the coal industry...which would subsequently cripple the economies of several regions in KY, WV, and other states.
