The need for cheap resources could significantly harm our quality of life. One of the reasons why I started this thread is that it might be possible to clean up coal. And what people need to be aware of is it's negative impact on our environment. They've done mountain top removal in Kentucky and from what I understand, the land isn't always reclaimed so it's a part of the ecological system again. Coal mining companies are required to pay into a fund for this purpose but from what I've read it has largely gone unused. Just to let you know, saying environmentalism in here is worse than saying global warming. Edited on 06-04-2019 00:28 |

Secondly, in case you missed it, selenium is a naturally occurring element in the Earth. It could be coming from any number of places on a watershed. Just as cliffs along beaches wear away and fall into the oceans, you are claiming the same thing as the landholders that want to sue the oil companies for causing "rising sea levels" from causing natural erosion. Thirdly and more importantly - THINKING that these malformities are caused by selenium is FAR different than knowing it. One of the latest research papers I read suggests that the nerves of the stomach go straight to the brain and that it is theorized that eating the wrong thing can irritate the stomach or intestines and cause a form of brain cancer. Try wrapping your head around that as people are saying how Trump is crazy for saying the sound off of windmills causes cancer. Supersonic and subsonic waves are known to have a strong effect on the digestive track of Homo Sapiens. |

A lot of these environmental issues are BS, interesting articles, to get people to spend money on them, while the dreamers/greeners collect their fees. I don't believe Trump is crazy, maybe a little lazy. He's a little gullible, in that when he reads, hears, or sees something, from what should be a reliable source, he instantly takes it at face value, and true. Later, he often finds, that it's 'fake-news'. In my younger years, you could journalism was objective, about facts and truth, had some integrity, and could be believed. Now days, it's biased, and usually some purpose is involved, beyond the facts. They pick through the details, omit many important pieces, to advance the agenda. Usually need to check the same story, written by different sources, to get most of the details, and a more correct picture. It's a lot of work, and redundancy, which most only go through, if the story is of great interest, or a slow news day. Unfortunately, too many people don't really want the facts, the full story, they want entertainment, the suspense, the drama, shock and disgust. News outlets write what sells, they have bills and a payroll to meet. They produce, what their sponsors support, and audience wants. Mutations happen all the time, most don't survive, few can reproduce. Been many stories through the years, of unusual critters caught, and whatever eyesore nearby gets the blame for producing the monstrosity. Nuclear power plants use to be blamed for all kinds of things, although no radioactive crap was ever spilled into the environment. Makes for interesting reading, gets folks fired up, opens up those wallets. Plenty of research dollars, lawyers and bogus lawsuits, needless cleanups and modifications. |

The real problem is that people like you are little more than little children with more belief than scientific understanding. Please stop blaming others for your own lack of education. |
