Has coal been sufficiently proven harmful to it's own workers?
Osha has standards which control worker safety in the workplace. Feasible PPE has been introduced to workers as approved by OSHA to keep workers safe as long as in compliance.
Republicans care about lives.
Now tell me how zero emissions in a coke plant (less than a car) makes sense with $30,000 fines every time it is failed (hint every day because it is impossible so the EPA and DEP just slap fines whenever they feel like it or need to prove they do their jobs or need funding)
Now tell me how that compared to India where they have thirty workers on a pusher dumping water barrels on full blown coal fires bullowing black clouds of smoke after every oven they fill with coal.
Tell me where we have gone too far with the regulation?
It is too far and overreaching.
Being allowed to dump your coal crap into rivers seems like a sterling reduction of regulation.
Not dumping into rivers is a pretty common sense regulation.
It is, isn't it. ---
