“For the last 100 years we built (coal) plants like this one. It takes crushed coal, ignites it to heat water that produces steam, and that turns a turbine and produces electricity. … You build that smoke stack real high so that nasty stuff goes to someone else’s backyard. Well, we’ve run out of backyards.”
— Montana’s Democratic governor, Brian Schweitzer
You’re damn right about that.
