The Toll from Coal

I often quote the number 13,200 as the annual death toll associated with Americans’ breathing the aromatics from coal-fired power plants, but I never actually had seen the source document until a reader sent it to me just  this morning.  Here it is, assembled by the Clean Air Task Force, headquartered in Boston.

Looks like I’m headed back that way in a couple of weeks.  I’ll try to drop by and shake some hands.
