He figures the coal will absorb some of the heavy metals OBanker's EPA dumped in our rivers.

I’d be more worried about burning North Dakota coal associated with roll front uranium deposits.

North Dakota

Some lignite coal in southwest North Dakota contains economic quantities of uranium. From 1965 to 1967 Union Carbide operated a mill near Belfieldin Stark County to burn uraniferous lignite and extract uranium from the ash. The plant produced about 150 metric tons of U3O8 before shutting down.
