I read another story about how factories that are burnning coal in texas are killing trees with the

Why not burn the trees that are already dead and double the profit while they are at it?

Trees are a wonderful thing. They are a renewable resource like wheat/corn/rutabagas...they just take a little longer to grow between harvests...

So like, Charlie Brown Christmas trees for us this year.

The high sulfur coal plants in Alabama have been killing trees along the Appalachian ridge for decades.

When I was a kid the AT on Clingmans Dome was a mossy enchanted forest. Now it's mostly dead.
