The editorial board ignored the fact that most of the burden of coal power plant pollution is borne by the local community. The Comanche Generating Station is just 6 miles from downtown Pueblo, and the people of Pueblo are the ones who have to deal most acutely with the negative health side effects from coal pollution: particulate, sulfur, nitrous oxides, mercury, etc. While I hope they are able to find new jobs for these 90 individuals, the benefits to the other 110,000 people of Pueblo are enormous and provide a major net gain for the community.
