Retired Coal Miner To EPA: 'We're Dying, Literally Dying For You To Help Us' | ThinkProgress



I would imagine that if given the opportunity to work in the coal mines for the rest of your life or work in a company producing some sort of clean energy the choice would be a simple one...it's just bizarre to me that in the 15th year of the new millenium we would still be relying on burning coal to keep warm and generate power...when we know so much about the potential of just the sun itself not to mention that of wind and water...the only apparent reason for this conundrum is money. Convert all coal mining operations to alternate energy producing entities and the people will still have jobs maybe more so...their health will improve saving millions in healthcare costs, and we will be able to stop raping the land for it's mineral resources which pollute the environment with the afterbirth...I'm just saying...
