Since the coal plant closed in 2016, researchers have tracked respiratory and cardiovascular ER visits & hospitalizations before & after the shutdown-finding dramatic improvement..an immediate 20% decrease in weekly ER visits for respiratory problems & a 40% decrease in visits for pediatric asthma
Close them all
Hmmm, almost like there was a correlation there, eh? I know correlation does not always equal causation, but in this case...
If you go into the detailed report within the article, the researchers at three different universities, followed the children’s health while the coal plant was operating and then have followed the community health since it shuttered. So the data is strong that coal causes resp problems-of course!
I was being sarcastic in that comment, just in case it wasn't clear. I mean, how much more evidence do we need at this point, right?
Trump will try to bury this data since it does not fit with his stupid “clean coal” narrative. He wants more coal, more oil and less solar and wind energy. Those who go along with him are complicit with his insane scheme for this country to commit economic, environmental and political suicide.
That should be more than enough proof that Coal....is a terrible idea.
