Until everyone that uses electricity is willing to pay several times more per kilowatt-hour, utilities will continue to build generation facilities that burn coal. It's cheap and plentiful in the U.S. and today accounts for over 90% of electric generation in Indiana. Federal legislation that limits emissions (and associates a cost with those emissions) is the only way to force utilities to find alternative sources of energy. Either way, the end result will be higher electric bills. I wish the citizens of this country would accept this fact, so that utilities could move on and start generating electricity in a sustainable way.

Coal is dirty by nature, was put in the ground for a reason. We should leave it there !! The coal operators are in it for money ONLY. They have no concern of the damage it does to people near the mines or the damage it does to the roads WE PAY FOR. There is no clean coal, there is no safe mine or plants !! Clean coal in an oxymoron !!! Coal, like money, rules Indiana.
