If you live in an area of the US that still depends on coal (26 states by the way, so the majority) for it's livelihood and you've seen many of your friends and family lose their source of income because of mining downturns, that would be a reason to turn this off, and no there aren't any other viable jobs that pay at the same rates and none were provided when the coal jobs were stopped. You can go ahead and downvote I won't be looking at this for replies, quotes, etc.The benifit is minimal but the cost is zero. Why not turn it on?
