Last week, I blogged about how three coal proposed plants have been canceled. But there are still nine more coal plants planned in Florida within the next eight years, according to the Palm Beach Post. The article says proponents point out that new coal plants aren’t like the old coal plants because they will be cleaner. And in fact, there is a “coal rush” throughout the country as people try to depend less and less on foreign fuel sources. However, residents and environmentalists don’t want the plants around, puffing mercury and other polluting chemicals into the environment. The article is in-depth and looks at other pros and cons as well as the the economics of coal.
