1. We nationalize all coal mines in the US under Federal Emergency Powers related to air pollution. 2 We donate the coal mines to a Land Trust to be overseen by The Nature Conservancy. 3. We pay for this, pay off the shareholders, (at the price of the coal stocks on the day preceding nationalization) by instituting a $.10 cents a gallon tax on gasoline. With over 250 million cars on the road in the US using on the average of 10 gallons of gas a week we would have 4 billion dollars a month coming in to finance this. The tax expires when the shareholders are paid off. 4. We could continue the tax if we chose to help other nations close down their coal mines and switch to higher priced alternative cleaner fuels. What's not to like? The upside of this extra 4 dollars a month we're being taxed is that we probably get live to as a planet.
