There are a lot of ways we can address this debate and this issue. but let me just pitch one to you. The Illinois Coal Basin. and I am from Illinois. I am biased. the Illinois Coal Basin is basically the State of Illinois and the southwestern part of Indiana and the western part of Kentucky. Thats all a big coal field. Under the ground there is as much fossil fuel energy in coal as Saudi Arabia has in oil. 250years worth. We have been mining and using it for generations. In fact. I am fourthgeneration Lithuanian American. My great grandfather immigrated to my home town of Collinsville. Illinois. where I still live. What did he do?
