ALL of our problems would be solved IF PDT would issue an edict that EVERYONE must breath every second or so.

Enough people would NOT do it to spite him.

The rest will fall in place.

I live in “coal country.” I don’t know anyone who isn’t happy to hear the coal industry has been relieved of a regulation or two.
We have a saying: Coal! There’s no fuel like an old fuel.

The problem with natural gas is that when a tenacious cold spell hits, you need an alternative because so much natural gas is diverted to heating. Coal is our ace in the hole for always available reserve energy and electrical generation capacity.

This is such nonsense.

For example, EPA’s own data, studied carefully, shows that most bodies of water in the US receive more mercury drifting here from CHINA than from even local power plants. Our “scrubbing” technology as now deployed is quite good.

In fact... Some time back I was looking at levels of mercury-in-fish from lakes all over the Midwest, and one of the lowest is Baldwin Lake in IL. Baldwin Lake is a 2018-acre “perched” cooling lake built for the big coal-fired power plant setting on its shore.

Ironically, a rather high-mercury-in-fish lake a couple hours away is Devils Kitchen Lake, with an almost entirely National Forest watershed, and deep, clear, inviting water. Apparently the mercury is mostly from natural sources.

“Trump’s rollback of pollution rules to hit coal country hard”

Only AP could spin a headline like this that’s exactly 180 degrees from the truth ...

Bureaucrats create facts to support their own agendas, just like all politicians. If Al Gore ran the EPA, imagine the studies and crap that would be spewing forth.

TRUMP WANTS TO KILL COAL MINERS' CHILDREN!

Just go away, Seth Borenstein. Like the rest of your Trump-hating media colleagues, you have no credibility. Besides, what do you care if a few West Virginia deplorables get sick? It would give you an opportunity to demonstrate your smirk.

If Trump's EPA changes cause real environmental problems, then those will be addressed in a cost-effective manner that does not put thousands of people out of work.

No input from you or your worthless leftist colleagues will ever be needed.

Seth Borenstein, science writer

.

Please note that this idiot millennial enthusiast is not a scientist, has no scientific background and is in fact a mere scientifically illiterate mouthpiece for the totalitarian left so beloved by the editors of the Slimes.
