They love pollution and don't give a damn about the people who are affected by cancer, respiratory ailments or mercury poisioning (or anything of the like). They are the morally bankrupt. Get conscience, if you can.

The fact that coal accounts for half the electricity in our country evades the President. Coal’s share of power generation keeps declining June 7, 2012 (COURIER PRESS) Coal now accounts for slightly more than one-third of the electricity generated in the United States.

Natural gas accounted for 30 percent of power generation. petronomist.com
