I live approximately equal distances from a coal fired and a nuclear plant and am perfectly healthy. So are my family and friends, some who have have lived in the area much longer.

I worked in a coal-fired power plant for 14 years. I blew out an ankle working there, but I don’t blame the coal.

I like electricity. If they want to “take on” big coal, they can start by pulling the meter can on their house. That’s what I always tell any anti-coal moron who thinks that solar cells and windmills can satisfy their increasing desire for more and more electricity.

You just think you and your friends are healthy
its up to these good people to save you from yourself.
Just how they are gonna save you when the lights and heat go off they don’t know but I’m sure it’s Bush’s fault

All I know is that I don’t want to live among a forest of eyesore windmills. Give me a coal, gas or nuke plant hidden behind a forest and I’ll be happy.

Let them freeze to death in the dark and watch them suddenly ‘warm up’ to coal power.

Just how many people do you want to put out of work?

Care2 members are Luddites. I say let them all starve in the dark. The environmental community are fools on parade. We must push these people and their ilk out of leadership positions that they infest. Our colleges,schools, and government has to be cleansed of them, peacefully if possible, but it must be done.

Snort! I live less than a mile from a coal fired plant! I even worked there for thirty one years! Am in the best of health! None of my illnesses, which were many were caused by anything in the coal or water or air from the power plant!
Many of those who retired with disabilities or died from diseases not related to coal.

Only ONE man retired and later died at 70 years of age from asbestos.
Heck, my old man died at 70 from heart disease and alcoholism and he retired before the plant was ever built!

The power plant has become one of the BEST winter fishing areas in NW Arkansas! Eagles winter here and the area is a deer nesting ground! There were virtually no deer here forty years ago!

They might want to move to the northern reaches of Canada. The air is pristine, the water (when not frozen) is crystal clear, there are few other inhabitants ... an ideal spot for y’all. I’m sure that y’all will revel in the moose sh!t, mosquitoes, summertime swamps, and other environmental attractions. Jobs, probably not a whole lot but you can probably apply for welfare.

Care2 is now the 150th largest site in the entire US, and we've recently surpassed the spectacular milestones of 17 million members and 80 million petition signatures.

? ? ?

Really?

"Care2"

Never heard of `em.

These Luddites should be given a tract of pristine land somewhere (someone suggested a remote part of Canada) which is unbesmirched by Evil Civilization and the Blight of Humankind, and be allowed to live out their fantasies of a “natural” life, and leave the rest of us alone with our coal-fired incandescent bulbs.
