choose either the centralia coal fire or the keystone XL pipeline project in 3-5 sentences write an argument that either critiques or supports the unites states response to the issue
1 answer
I choose to critique the United States response to the Centralia coal fire. The Centralia coal fire has been burning underground since 1962, releasing toxic gases and pollutants into the air. Despite the known environmental and health hazards, the United States has failed to adequately address the issue and put a stop to the fire. The lack of action on the part of the government shows a disregard for the well-being of the residents living near the coal fire and the environment as a whole. It is imperative that immediate and effective measures be taken to extinguish the fire and prevent further harm to the community and surrounding ecosystems.
