out of town

I'm away from the farm, so sorry for the lack of blog posts! But in my travels I have passed many coal powered electric plants. I understand that those plants provide many jobs for the people in the Midwest, that have suffered the most from the economy job loss. But I can't help to be sickened at the sight of the nasty smoke pouring out of the multiple smoke stacks and who knows what kind of toxins are ending up in the river that these plants sit on. The employees surly suffer from the effects from working with coal and high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. Makes me so sad that us Americans won't stand up against it, there are far too many clean ways to produce electricity now.... Why are we as a people poisoning ourselves???? Makes absolutely no sense. Please if your electricity comes from coal.... Conserve, conserve, conserve.
