Its not as easy as just saying No More Coal. We have thousands of jobs related to the coal industry. Also countries abroad need the coal. If they dont get it from us, they will get it somewhere else. Until other viable options are found and made availiable to the world. they will burn coal..

Dirty coal is just that - DIRTY, not matter where it is burned. We will get the harmful effects of burning this extremely polluting fossil fuel no matter where on earth it is burned. It should be kept in the ground to be used only in extreme emergency! Did you know the coal industry is still receiving tax payer funded subsidies? If the government would spend what they waste in a month of fighting unwinnable wars are energy needs would be solved with big oil and big coal. There are alternatives to dirty oil and coal - open your eyes! Demand they be used!
