Another reason to get upset.

I saw this in the Christian Science Monitor, which happens to be one of the best papers in the world. Not all coal mining is bad as I learned when I visited one of my uncles out in Wyoming, but the Appalachian method is pretty hideous. My biggest concern on reading this type of article is what can we do? If your area supports alternate energy, buy into it. Beyond that, are we just pawns of our own system?
