Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Thank you. I looked up and read as much as I could on the subject the other night. I read what I could about the town in Pennsylvania too. We drove through that are back in 1996 and I had asked Rod, "I wonder why this area looks so dead?" now I have a clue why.
It sure would seem regardless of the limited damage anyone would claim on such a matter that it would make sense to find a solution. I do not think God is planting new coal beds into the earth. So it makes perfect sense that it would be best to try to preserve what is there.
I know Rocks has decided that when one singular cause of pollution from one country only produces 0.1-0.2% of all human generated carbon emissions in the atmosphere it doesn't rise to a high enough level to bother with, but I disagree. China may have the worst problem, but India has a pretty bad problem too. In fact, many countries have this same problem. Australia has one that has been burning for 6,000 years.
If people are sincerely looking for solutions, they should be accepting serious wins where they can find them. But, like I said initially, if this is really just about power, control and money, they will turn their nose up at this and any other non-controversial opportunity.
