This Just In! Coal Is Good For Your Health

I came across this horribly retarded blurb about a study conducted by a so called think tank on the benefits of coal power. I have never before seen such a blatently one sided, and self serving argument.
They argue that coal-fired power plants are good for the public health and evil-bad environmental regulations that result in a reduction of coal usage is what we should all really fear. Come to think of it, nothing makes me feel better than a nice deep breath off a fresh coal fire. Later in the article they try to do a little ass-covering by saying that what will really do the public harm is the damage to the economy if coal plants were not built and used.
What's so freaking annoying about jackasses that make this sort of argument is that they never ever mention the countless jobs that will be created at newer better power plants that don't require the use of such dirty fuels. New technologies will lead to new economic opportunities which will lead to bigger better things… good things.
It's called change and people who actually believe this kind of shit are afraid of it. If we let people like this rule our world we'll all end up like the dinosaurs and heck maybe in 60 million years some new species can pump our fossilized remains out of the ground and make the same mistake all over again. Now that's bad for public health.
