Less coal plants (i.e. less access to electricity) will improve your health.

Except for all the broken bones, knee scrapes, minor impalements and concussions from stumbling around in the dark.

But a few people will be healthier. If they don't suck in all of the candle soot.

Life without energy is cruel and short. Do we really want to go back to the 19th century?

Right...

1812 - Zero Coal Pants - Life Expectancy = 58.

200 years later...

2012 - 600+ Coal Plants - Life Expectancy = 78.

Those coal plants are killing us /s

Kerosene lamps are better than candles, but they smoke if the wick isn't trimmed right.

Gas mantle lamps give better light, but they probably emit CO and CO2.

But that's all right. I'm sure the EPA will be regulating those, too. A Nanny State searches high and low.
