ANTHRACITE COAL IS 94% PURE AND
THEREFORE, IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE
NOTE WELL:
I asked my stepdad, whose father was a
coal miner, why the mines were closed.
His answer, "In the fifties, the power
companies in New England put pressure
on the Kennedys to lift the embargo against
foreign oil imports. The Kennedys got the
laws changed; the power companies, which
up to then had used coal almost exclusively,
now could buy cheaper foreign oil.
The consequence: the coal mines closed."

Connie,
Thank you very much for posting this
Centralia video.
I visited the area in 2005. The guide said
the government was going to put out the
fires and they did know how to do it.
In fact, he told us in detail, how it could
be done.
So, twenty years ago, they said the fires
would be put out but in the video said it had been burning for 60 years and it would burn
for 200 more years and the photos were heartbreaking.
I'm wondering why -
if the government said they'd put the fires out and they knew how to do so, what the heck?
Just plain awful.
Happy with Life...Faith in God...Love being outside...Enjoy
