If a
coal seam burns through the road, asphalt could crack open and sink, swallowing people and cars and unleashing a hellish scenario that might finally make people
pay attention to what is going on beneath their feet.
What I'd like to know is, taking all of these factors into account, how much extra we, the consumers, will have to
pay for a kilowatt - hour of
coal - fired electricity 5, 10, 20 and 30 years from now (a point in time which even WV's own Nick Rahall says will be when the most productive
coal seams have been mined out) because our leaders today decided to facilitate an increase in the consumption of
coal through the laughably mis - named «climate bill.»
