The true cost of coal:
This presents a bit of a challenge, given that the Appalachian communities where the mining takes place are extremely poor, and poverty and low education are associated with a lot of health problems. In addition, many of the problems associated with coal mining—particulates from the mining process and water contamination—don't respect the county borders that divide up the health care data. But even after adjusting for the variations in things like income and education, counties with active coal mines came out far worst in many measures of health. These include the problems you'd expect from mining, such as cardiopulmonary and respiratory issues, black lung, hypertension, and kidney disease. But they also include things like a 25 percent increase in birth defects in mining counties. Ahern summed up the fate of people located near mines rather grimly: "Their property value goes down to zero, then they get ill, then they die."Shutting down a California Monsanto office for a day.

As a child, I never had an Etch-a-Sketch™. I did have some good toys, but Etch-a-Sketch™ was never within our price limits. On two or three memorable occasions, the kid next door let me play with his. And to think that one reference to Etch-a-Sketch™ may determine the course of history!
Etch a Sketches are boring. Even today.
