The New York Times October 19, 2009 By Matthew L. Wald
The National Academy of Sciences have states that burning fossil fuels causes the Unites States to spend $120 billion a year in health costs because of the premature deaths. Damages are caused from the oil and gas problems. Almost 20,000 people die prematurely each year due to this problem. Coal burning averages to about 3.2 cent per kilowatt-hour. It adds up in the long run and we have to spend alot on it.
This author found the information and found evidence as to how much we contribue to the global warming. The National Academy of Sciences realizes that we need to do something fast and help out the damages we've already done.
