[PRCo] Coal and Smoke

[Herb Brannon]

Someone wrote:
"We all know that smoke control is a done thing in Pittsburgh but it is
fascinating reading back in the 1940s when the opposition … the miners, the
coal industry, and the factories were fighting to make sure it didn't
happen.   They were all taking the stance that smoke is good for the
economy."

They still are taking that stance. Now they say everyone is waging a "war
against coal". They also say that they now mine "clean coal", whatever that
is.
