Well we know the reason just that they won't tell anyone. Looks like trumps coal country folks get screwed again. They just want them to suffer i guess rather than spend a measly million on research, and they won't tell you why. Thanks Zinke.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Interior Department has been unable to adequately explain why it canceled a $1 million study on the public health impacts of mountaintop removal coal mining, the agency’s inspector general office said in a report released on Tuesday."

I searched!

Don't have to worry about scientific evidence getting in the way of shitty policy if you don't gather it in the first place.
Kinda like Betsy's study on school shootings not looking at the role that guns play...it you don't study it, it's not the problem.

Coal is just fine once you wash it and get the dirt off of it. Sheesh everyone knows this including the President.

Clean coal can be used to help make many many many wonderful things. Next up coalos, a special low cost cereal marketed to minorities fortified with clean coal to help you power through the day.

Although I read it at coal OS. I figured it was the next version of Android.
