Hopefully when President Elect Obama takes office he will quickly shelve these new rules.

Not in our backyard
The EPA may change clean air rules to allow over 20 coal fired power plants to do business right next to our national parks. This change should be completely unacceptable to any American. At this point in human history, we should not be building more coal plants and especially not building them next to national parks. The article sadly notes that 75 years ago, it was possible to see the Washington Monument from Skyline Drive, the main thoroughfare through my favorite National Park: Shenandoah.

Coal plants shouldn't be next to public parks. I think Coal is a dirty fuel and if coal can't be produced in an extremely less polluting way, then it should be done away with.
