For the same reason we had blistering temperatures last year and no rain, so no water. We had plenty of rain this year so we will probably be back to a drought next year or cold temperatures next year. There is nothing wrong with coal, you just have to burn it more effectively. If you live in Pike Co., you have lost a loved one, know someone who has, or people now that are dying from cancer. All the sludge that was dumped and is being dumped in Grundy to come to our drinking supply, is the one of the major causes. When the paper prints that you shouldn't eat more than a few fish a year out of fishtrap, doesn't that ring a bell? Don't eat the fish, but here drink the water. If there is anybody on these boards who works with the EPA and knows the cancer rate in Pike Co., I would sure be interested. It is off the charts. There is so much chlorine in our water coming out of our faucets, that if you run a bath, and then walk in the room, the fumes are overpowering.

It's not just Pike, it's all of EKY. Ask yourselves what we all have in common, our water. Water that coal runoff has inhibited for generations. A doctor at Markey cancer center told me when my mom got cancer, said EKY has an alarmingly high cancer rate, and blamed it on the water. Coal people don't care about that, as long as they live at their higher standards.
