Ever seen what happens when a coal mine catches fire? Link
I guess we should just go back to water mills right?
Hydroelectric has grown up since then. See: hoover dam
Dams are actually really bad for the environment. They were sold as good because they don't burn coal but it turns out that blocking rivers interferes with everything along it.
Hydroelectric dams have also claimed more human lives than any other type of power plant.
i think you forgot to attach an image. or you're a boring person
Nothing boring about a fire that's been burning for at least 62 years, possibly 86, and has caused the permanent evacuation of two towns.
i wanted cool images
There's a geyser because of the underground heat.
Not Centralia but Hazlewood in 2014. Thought I'd use a more recent and closer to home image
woah, interesting
They should have updated the road sign to include a fire warning there.
