Why are we still using coal?
January 12, 2014 at 2:24 pm
I've been getting mail and calls about some politician that I shouldn't vote for, because he's trying to reduce the coal industry. I thought coal was like some outdated fuel source that's both hazardous to the environment and hazardous for the workers. I asked the guy that called me why we're even using coal, but he didn't really say much. He just wanted me to vote pro coal.

For some reason I thought we were beyond coal nowadays. Hell we're almost beyond oil, aren't we?

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
