There has been a great deal of controversy regarding the risks associated with the production and consumption of coal. But even though those risks do exist, the simple fact is they have been very well studied and we have developed ways of addressing them in a manner acceptable to doctors, patients, insurers, and society. Indeed there are now a wide array of technologies in this modern era mitigating the risks associated with coal. Those techniques range from the financial fiduciary devices to reduce the risks to investors and societies of the gambles involved in coal investment to medical devices like the sophisticated inhaler, a lightweight solution to the inconveniences posed by childhood asthma. However, I believe all these technologies together make coal production and consumption one of the safest endeavors on earth.
