Now, with MTR, the hidden costs of cheap electricity have risen exponentially.The refusal by the Bush White House and the appointees in the DOJ,EPA,MSHA,the Corps of Engineers,and the Courts,to enforce the laws under their respective jurisdictions have only pushed the costs into the future,in the form of environmental and species destruction,global warming,and less and less drinkable water,which we will soon realize is more valuable than coal or electricity! Ask the people of Atlanta or Las Vegas.
