My comment to the EPA on Greenhouse Gas

There is no dispute about Greenhouse Gases, the only reason there is debate is because big $ corporations have their hands in the pockets of politicians, including it seems even Obama. If he thinks Coal can ever be 'clean'....the number one way to mine coal currently is Mountain top removal, which leaves the land looking like a moonscape. But its ok cuz not that many people live in these Rural states right?....well l live in one of those states, l dont like seeing simulations of the moon popped up out of the forest and those are only the ones we can see. Plus the initial bulldozing of the land to form an unstable dam to retain the slurry of poisionous water after the coal is washed.....Water, our most precious resource, used to 'wash' coal. And what happens when that unstable dam ruptures, and floods the local community?....Ask Kington Tn. but dont ask the TVA, they claim the water is still safe and no permanent harm was done.....hmmm yea right!! Then you finally get to the part where coal is burned, first on trains to truck it to various facilities, then burned for our power, 50% of our US power. Then you get Greenhouse Gas, which is not only changing the way Earth retains heat but also contains harmful heavy metals and particulate matter. We knew all this 30 years ago when l was a kid watching the news that Carter had solar panels installed on the White House.....but His Revered Sir Reagan had them removed as ineffectual.....So please show us how the Obama administration is bringing the 'change' that was advertised.
