It ruins land and pollutes. An you know its not going to be around forever. So start being proactive and planning a transition.
Jobs may be lost due to coal, but others will be created as new solutions are developed.
And we would have to assume that the new solutions will be equally cheap.
And yes the government has an obligation to protect its citizens, land, and resources. As weve seen time and again, business will cut every corner they can to make a buck.

In case you missed it the govt. enacted the clean air act and in fact cleaned up the coal industry already.
And again I realize things evolve, and other energy sources will be there; but why all of a sudden kill the coal industry?

We currently have no efficient alternative to coal. The Govt should not increase regulations to shut down coal plants because it will cripple the economy. They should leave that industry alone, not subsidize it either.
I would support the Govt granting money to research green projects to find better alternatives. But we shouldn't try to shut down coal until we actually have an alternative and the infrastructure to use it.
