Christy DeForest delivered anthracite and we were warm and toasty in those cold New York winters.
My aunt burned pea coal. Christy delivered that, too. And in the summers when I was a really little girl, he and the family delivered ice! What a relic I am.
The technology is available to burn coal in a clean, efficient manner. It would put thousands to work in "clean" jobs.
It is a huge strategic resource, and it's ours. If the technology isn't good enough, invent and produce something that can utilize this resource well.
It's a good thing to subscribe to these newsletters, even if you are in opposition.
I hate to look at photos of strip mines. I wish coal miners, those brave souls, didn't have it so hard; that they could work underground without fear of fires and collapses or blacklung.
But it is an important energy source, and I think we should be doing something to make it work...for us. Now.
