There are EPA monitors all around areas where they burn coal. There is no evidence that coal plants produces any health hazards. Studies on the environment based on true scientific monitoring shows virtually no effect on the environment. All these environmentalist base their view on opinion, assumptions and associations rather then the scientific models actually used by the EPA in which actual sampling is done. These people are making policy on their bullshit rhetoric this hurts the poor.
Coal pollutes the land and water when you mine it. It pollutes the air when you burn it and the residual ash contains toxins that leach into the environment when its stored. And over 2 billion tons of waste ash is stored at plants in the US. The world just witnessed the effects of a monster sludge spill in Tennessee. Clean coal is total bullshit.
