    Yeah, there’s no waste from coal plants…if you don’t count the damage from mining, the storage and spills of fly ash, or the carbon and radioactive material emitted into the atmosphere. Except for those, and the deaths they cause, coal could be the cleanest fuel source out there…instead of one of the most polluting.
