Aware Quotes
I feel that we should all be made aware of that site and that it should remain intact. Coal mining has made resurgence and with every tragedy comes a benefit and the benefit from the Orient 2 explosion is that new federal laws were enacted that no doubt saved other miners' lives. This site has been and it remains an important part of the nation's history concerning coal mining and it's located right here in Franklin County.

Climate Quotes
I think we are entering a watershed era where we can expect high levels (of oil prices) not just for a transitory period, but for an extended period. We are still dominated by the traditional sources of energy. If you want to deal with global climate change, you must come to grips with oil used in transportation and coal used for electricity generation.

Air Quotes
Supplies of imported coal into the United States are expected to increase substantially over the next several years as power generators and other industrial end users work to comply with stricter air emission standards, and as production from the Central Appalachian coal basin continues to decline.

Benefits Quotes
We are continuing to evaluate our options. Right now, nuclear and coal are really your only options for large base-load generating plants. Both oil and natural gas are extremely expensive options. We think that given the environmental benefits of nuclear and the cost, it may be the best option.

Came Quotes
When coal came into the picture, it took about 50 or 60 years to displace timber. Then, crude oil was found, and it took 60, 70 years, and then natural gas. So it takes 100 years or more for some new breakthrough in energy to become the dominant source. Most people have difficulty coming to grips with the sheer enormity of energy consumption.

Agree Quotes
There is no set line about where anybody in that school zone should go to school, ... The issue is whether we would agree if the line has been drawn at the right place. Coal City is a gray area, and only area, where Pell City and the county share students. Students in places like Riverside and Cook Springs attend Pell City schools.

Oil Quotes
Subsidies for the oil, gas and coal industries are projected to cost taxpayers more than $135 billion in the coming decade. At a time when scientists tell us we need to reduce carbon pollution to prevent catastrophic climate change, it is absurd to provide massive subsidies that pad fossil-fuel companies' already enormous profits.
-
Adding Quotes
Even though there's enough demand for all three units to operate at full capacity, we want to conserve coal to be able to perform during a severe cold snap, for example. We are doing everything we can to continue full production, including adding a fourth train set and purchasing coal from mines closer to the plant to reduce transportation cycle times.

Broader Quotes
Our concerns are broader than that, in a sense that we really need to sit down and look at our total energy situation nationwide -- maybe even look at it in a hemispheric basis, ... Look at Canada and Mexico. Look not only at electricity, but also natural gas and oil, coal and other forms of generating power as well.
