Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 First the horrific coal ash spill in Tennessee and now this - pollution has been linked to a surge in birth defect rates in China. These birth defects are highest in coal-producing regions such as Shanxi and Inner Mongolia. Coal is certainly NOT clean. Tell President Obama to adopt a clean slate agenda. >> http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/Af5xb/zCqR/ANR12 Everything about coal - from the extraction to the waste - is dirty. Even so-called "clean coal" does not exist in the U.S. today. It's all an elaborate public relations campaign perpetrated by the coal companies. The truth is, coal is the leading contributor to global warming emissions, and the dirtiest way to produce electricity. And now we know, it can be severely damaging to your health. Tell Obama to adopt a clean slate agenda with the EPA, end mountaintop removal coal mining and the building of new coal plants. >> http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/Af5xb/zCqR/ANR12 Thank you for speaking out when it truly counts.
