Don, if you consider the near total destruction of the Central
Appalachian Mountains by the mountaintop removal process utilized to
mine the low sulfur compliance coal that managed to keep emission

Central Appalachia who have paid the ultimate price to save lakes in
New England and eastern Canada.
