We just took a load of clothes and food to the coal dependent community of Millstone, Ky. Another mine has closed due to EPA regulations, and the people up there are in desperate straits. More regulations will mean more people starving or forced into the welfare system, which seems to be the administrations plan.
The US has > 350 years of coal energy available right under our feet.
It is sad but let it crumble. It has to.
