Clean Coal

How "clean" can coal ever be if the method of extracting it is to destroy the landscape?

If the mining companies have their way, the first line to John Denver's song "Take me home, country roads" will have to be changed to "Almost Lunar, West Virginia," for the coal companies will make most of West Virginia as desolate as the surface of the Moon.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the Bush Administration is all in favor of this form of environmental destruction.
