volver I was thinking of how much concern is shown about potential danger of different fuels and how they focus on one fuel and completely ignore the most dangerous and pervasive of fuels that maims and kills those who mine it and those who live anywhere where it is burnt. It is still mined and burnt everyday and still makes millions ill from coping with the pollution it causes, but no one even mentions it other than in passing.
