Coal is still the most common used source of fuel in the United States, especially for industrial purposes. I don't understand how people could have a problem with UA making money off of the reparations. I don't think the fallen soldiers would be offended if they did. I always knew UA got reparations, but I figured they had already sold it all. Why have they sat on so much cash for so long?
