Yesterday Trump signed an order to revive the coal industry. He called talked about "beautiful, clean coal." I just had to set him straight. Tomorrow I'm sending out this letter. I hope it does some good.
Dear President Trump:
I read that you referred to coal as “beautiful, clean coal.” Perhaps you are not as familiar with coal as I am. I live in Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Anthracite coal was discovered here in Summit Hill. While I will agree that anthracite, unlike the crumbly bituminous coal found more in western Pennsylvania, can be quite beautiful and shiny, it is definitely not clean.
I have seen miners come home from deep mines near Nesquehoning, and believe me, they were dirty. In addition, when I was a kid we burned coal in our furnace. It is not clean. It leaves ashes and it pollutes the air. I don’t know why you think it is clean, but I think upon further investigation, you will find it is anything but.
Incidentally, I now have solar panels on my shed room. They are clean.
Sincerely,
Roy Christman
