I mean look at what it did to gypsum mining! You see Archie, since the 70's we have been installing scrubbers that clean the discharge air of pollutants. WE do this Archie, not the rest of the world where coal is cheap and plentiful. They just burn it and laugh at us. 

A byproduct of the scrubbing process is the production of gypsum. So much so that APCO can barely give it away. You being an architect I'm sure you know what gypsum is and its importance to the building trade. For those that may not know, gypsum is the main ingredient in sheetrock!
