The biggest challenge for me now that I am over 60 years old is to watch mankind continue to make irresponsible and shortsighted decisions that will effect future generations and will perhaps be irreversible due to secondary climate related effects. To make these decisions based on short term profits is at this point immoral at best and amoral and stupid in fact. To do this in order to send coal to China is beyond all of that. It does nothing to create energy independence" the supposed reason for destroying our environment, and in fact perpetuates unsound use of dirty energy by a country who is quickly becoming our economic rival. This only benefits those who already are pocketing huge sums of profits and in the short run some local jobs that could easily be created in other areas if the political will was there"
