The radiation in coal most likely (do not know for sure) comes from radon. Oil drilling produces the same radioactive radon in drill pipe and the reason used drill pipe is cheap and you see a lot of it used for cattle yards. A dumb public and a good lobbyist makes for a market of products not fit for a scrap yard. So should we ban oil drilling also.
But the real question was...... Why should you (US) have to pay higher electric bills because you use natural gas when your neighbor across the street gets to use cheaper coal (Europe) If coal causes a proven risk to the public ban it. Not just for domestic use but for export also to prevent others from using it.
We will receive the same risk from burning coal if it is burned in the US or Antarctica. The day we receive this risk will just be different.
