Newsweek's Daniel Stone asks, "will such a fresh reminder of the dangers of coal mining influence the nation's energy debate, underscoring the imperative to move beyond coal ? Before now, "Instead of safety, the most significant considerations for an energy revolution are environmental factors. Mercury contamination and global carbon cuts are what fuels discussions at bipartisan meetings on Capitol Hill." Could safety concerns, added to environmental concerns, tip the balance ? Stone doesn't think so ?
