POLLUTION   (CONT)

The nomination of Correll comes at a time when the Bush administration has stepped up its reliance on coal to meet the country's energy demands. According to a 2006 report by US PIRG Research Fund, there are about 150 new coal-fired power plants under consideration.

But as more coal is mined to meet higher demand, an increased number of communities are dealing with the environmental and health repercussions of the industry - the very repercussions that Correll will supposedly be in charge of mitigating or eliminating.
