Lest there be any misunderstanding: there is no such thing as “clean coal technology.”

Mountaintop mining site, S. WV

Sing for the children, in their Appalachian homes
Who hear rain on the roof and go to sleep in their clothes
While their parents keep watch because nobody knows
If tonight is the night the slurry dam will blow.

Sing for the bear cubs, snuggled safe underground
In their dens with their mamas when the mountain comes down
I say what is it worth, this cheap energy we’ve found
When her babies are buried and our children might drown. (Source)

 

Pax et bonum.
