Question

Should the US Rely More Heavily on Coal Energy?

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

We need to find a more sustainable resource thats not nearly has heavy a pollutant.  

Answer 2

A coal phase out would be a much better idea (nuclear can replace it just fine).

Answer 3

No, I don't think we should.

I'm not trying to act like a save-the-earth moron here, but coal is a non-renewable energy resource, and we are slowly running out. Instead, we should try to invest more in renewable energy, such as solar energy. Mostly because if/when we do run out, what will we do if we don't have a backup solution?

Answer 4

No!  We don't need any more carbon-based energy "solutions".

Answer 5

No way!!! Switch to wind n solar!! Do you realise how windy it is in the plains n Texas? That's untapped energy that never goes away!
