Guest Blogger Doesn't Like The Lies from the Kentucky Coal Industry

fish-pollutionGuest Blogger Mike Brace is working hard to develop renewable energy sources that can replace coal. Here’s why. He writes:

Here’s news from the Associated Press called “State officials issue fish advisories in Kentucky.” They say “High levels of mercury or polychlorinated biphenyls — PCBs — found in some fish species could pose a health hazard to women who are pregnant or of childbearing age and small children. People who are at risk should limit their consumption to about one meal per month, according to the state health department. Environmental attorney Tom FitzGerald, director of the Kentucky Resources Council, said the state’s response seemed to be appropriate. High mercury levels can be attributed in part to coal-fired power plants as well as some natural sources.”

Is there really such thing as “natural sources” for mercury pollution? As far as I know we don’t mine or process mercury with in US borders.
This is a crock.

PS: Here’s a graphical depiction or “infographic” of the history of renewable energy.
