Warnings over pollution met with a shrug in coal country

GRANT TOWN, W.Va. (AP) — It’s coal people like miner Steve Knotts, 62, who make West Virginia Trump Country.

So it was no surprise that President Donald Trump picked the state to announce his plan rolling back Obama-era pollution controls on coal-fired power plants.

Trump left one thing out of his remarks, though: Northern West Virginia coal country will be ground zero for increased deaths and illnesses from the rollback on regulation of harmful emission from the nation’s coal power plants.

An analysis done by his own Environmental Protection Agency concludes that the plan would lead to a greater number of people here dying prematurely, and suffering health problems that they otherwise would not have, than elsewhere in the country, when compared to health impacts of the Obama administration plan.

Knotts, a coal miner for 35 years, isn’t fazed when he hears that warning, a couple of days after Trump’s West Virginia rally. He says the last thing people in coal country want is the government slapping down more controls on coal — and the air here in the remote West Virginia mountains seems fine to him.

Aretha Franklin's Funeral Kicked Off With a Tribute From Over 100 Pink Cadillacs

Leave it to Aretha Franklin to go out in style. On Friday, notable figures and family gathered in Detroit to celebrate and honor the late singer for her funeral — and they were welcomed by a gathering of more than 100 pink Cadillacs that lined the street leading to Greater Grace Temple, a tip of the hat to the famous diva.

Franklin had a soft spot for pink Cadillacs: “We goin’ ridin’ on the freeway of love in my pink Cadillac,” she sang in her 1985 single “Freeway of Love.” The Cadillac tribute — organized by Crisette Ellis, wife of the Greater Grace Temple pastor — was inspired not only by that evocative lyric, but also by the manner in which police cars line streets to pay respects to their own fallen, according to NPR.

“My husband said, ‘Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could have a sea of pink Cadillacs parked on Seven Mile Road to greet Ms. Aretha Franklin as she arrives?'” Ellis told NPR.

And that’s exactly what guests were greeted to on Friday morning as they arrived for the funeral. Dignitaries including the Rev. Al Sharpton and former President Bill Clinton are slated to speak, while singers like Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson will pay musical tribute to the late, great superstar.
