Economics killed coal, because of natural gas being so cheap, but now solar power and wind power and competitive. We shouldn't forget what the acid rain was doing before we started reducing sulfur emissions. Mercury is another thing we don't necessarily want more of. in you opinion, how should we approach controlling emissions of things like mercury that are known to be unhealthy in certain amounts. It's not like the obama admin invented this idea.

The sad thing is that the only thing that might save the higher tropic fish like tuna from extinction is increasing the mercury levels to make eating them so bad for human health that we quit eating them. Unfortunately, the the mercury level needed to keep the Japanese from having a nice sushi dinner may be higher than the lethal mercury level for tuna. Only time will tell I guess.
