Coal Mining is one of the many divisive issues of American politics.

Description

Coal remains one of the cheapest energy sources within the United States, and new technologies promise to reduce its environmental impact. Supporters of coal mining want this cheap source of energy to continue to be exploited. Opponents doubt the effectiveness of these new technologies to mitigate coal's substantial environmental impacts and would prefer government resources and subsidies be spent on other, cleaner sources of energy.
