I grew up with coal mines & "crackers" in my back yard and coal-trains rumbling past at 2-AM. Across town subsurface mine-fires burned for decades spewing massive SO2 & CO into the air. Pretty flames at night ... City buildings fell into mines where the "pillars" were robbed. Mine cave-ins tried swallowing the Susquehanna River ... you know, home of the Susquehanna salmon ! "The market" sorted that out by deciding environmental rape and human sickness were less important than corporate profit. I'm as conservative as the next paleo --- be careful what does not draw your governments' attention.
