How sad to see these photos, especially when our country is running out of gas. We are sitting on millions of tons of coal which would certainly help, but the politicians couldn't possibly use them. My Grandfather was one of the rescuers at the disaster.

I think the problem with a lot of the coal reserves that are left, is that it's too expensive to get the stuff out.
