Controlling the risk of dust exposure to workers in mines | Business Queensland
Point being........stop showing old ass pictures of coal mining to justify not mining it anymore.
It's not just the mining of coal, but the burning of coal. Everything from SOx's to Hg. There is a need for 'clean coal' technology to be perfected, in order to make coal a viable long term energy source.
Again.........that technology has greatly evolved.................the newest EPA regulations under Obama were designed to put it out of business............
There is no perfect way to FULLY CLEAN THE COAL...........
The Kemper Power Plant was the first to try and meet the standards set by Obama..........and it is a miserable failure.........not long ago the papers around here were stating that it would be cheaper to run the plant now on natural gas than to continue running on coal.
