Coal

The EPA has just released new regulations regarding CO2 emissions that will change the coal industry. No new coal fired power plants will be built and existing plants will switch to natural gas and this will reduce CO2. The production of coal in places like West Virginia will continue and the coal will be shipped overseas to places like China and a new emerging market in Africa. In times past western countries were condemned for taking natural resources from places like Africa and now we are sending them back. As the use of coal increases in Africa so will the contamination of the air and water. This is our way of saying thanks. We can all now brag to the world on how we have cleaned up our air and water but let’s not go into the details of we did it. And I thought colonialism was dead.
