Pollution in DC

In a nation struggling to break its addiction to coal power plants, is it not a telling sign when the nation's capital is powered by a coal power plant and we can't agree to get rid of it? In a situation that is becoming all too familiar, the US government is electing to continue to subsidize a dying industry instead of getting on the forefront of developing a sustainable, forward-thinking idea such as solar power.

Senators supporting the plant have been receiving massive campaign contributions from the coal industry. Go figure.

The Senate is nearly unreal with the extent to which it works for the corporations and not the people.
