Cap the Smokestacks!
Burning coal wouldn't be a problem if the managers of coal-burning plants weren't so STUPID! If you catch, cool and condense the smoke from burning coal, you get a valuable product called Coal Tar -- which is very useful for making colorfast dyes for textiles. Likewise, smoke from burning trash can be caught, cooled, condensed, and put to use. I simply cannot understand why managers of any coal or trash-burning plant keep throwing money up the chimney.
