entirely profit oriented. I take this view on account of the following reasons. First of all, totally profit oriented companies may make decisions and develop some industries, which may extremely destroy the environment, and overlook the health problems of human beings.

There is no doubt that burning coal can be harmful to the environment and the health of humans that are exposed to it, but the manner in which the NAACP manipulates the issue to paint a picture of power companies taking advantage of the poor and minorities to create a racial and social status issue is unethical. No one disputes the fact
