Charleston Gazette - Editorial by Roger Nicholson - July 12, 2009
The Sunday Gazette-Mail on June 21 announced with much fanfare a "groundbreaking" study, authored by a West Virginia University psychologist, Michael Hendryx, and a Washington State University College of Pharmacy associate professor, Melissa Ahern, that purported to show that coal's cost outweighs its benefits. Not surprisingly, the Gazette ignores some key facts and holds Hendryx and Ahern to a much lower standard of factual rigor than it would a pro-coal industry study.
