Even that's not enough. Coal mining and working inside of the coal plants themselves carry massive health risks. That's not even getting into coal ash and sludge, which is completely unregulated by the government and surprisingly makes up the US's second largest waste stream after trash and sewer waste.

It's not really an opinion if it's based on actual scientific data and statistical brown townysis.

As a person studying the sciences, this is the way I deal with it. Ideally if people actually know how this stuff works, they'll vote someone in better-prepared to address these issues.

People vote on their representatives (assuming they live in the states). That has an effect.

Apparently there were enough people out there that didn't think it was a big issue and voted accordingly.
