It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

Fish taken from every lake and pond in pond in Kentucky and Indiana show mercury in the fish.  Some say the price of electricity in Kentucky and Indiana is one of the lowest prices in the country.  Using coal to generate electricity pollutes the air;  the damage that comes to the water and the life of the creatures that depend on the water must be understood and accounted for.   A renewal of commitment to the environment will be necessary for the region to compete economically in the future.
