Coal damage

To the editor:

What are the tax implications for Melvin Neufeld and his group of coal burners? Their main concern seems to be how much money can be generated taking cleanliness out of our air in order to produce electricity for Colorado. What about water? Will much be needed? Where will it come from? Who will pay for our wounded air? Who will know how to restore it? Maybe we should consider an excess carbon tax so that those who will reap the benefits of the new coal-burning plants can be a part of mending the damage they will cause.
