Let’s Develop a Plan To Get Rid of Coal

Tiny particles that penetrate lung tissue called “PM 2.5” come largely as exhaust from burning coal to generate electricity, and have been linked to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths in certain parts of China, where their concentrations are often over 500 micrograms per cubic meter, more than 20 times the levels that the World Health Organization deems safe.  Small wonder these people are upset with their government.  I certainly wouldn’t want to live in air that looks like you can cut it with a knife, watching my family and friends drop like flies.     

The world really needs to get rid of coal as soon as possible.  We need a plan in place to do that.  Why can’t we have one?
