Coal is dirty, and pollutes the air that trains transporting it travel through. I do not want MORE coal taken out of the ground. We need solar and wind and hydro power, NOT more fossil fuels. And how utterly wasteful not only to mine more coal, but to transport it to China, using petrol. Sustainability means meeting the needs of our generation WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY enabling subsequent generations to meet their needs as well. At the rate we're going, we'll reach peak coal and peak oil and not leave anything for future generations. It is predominantly, however, for the air pollution (and water pollution) factor[s] that I ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES want to see more coal trained through Washington State. Thank you in advance for caring about people and our precious environment.
