mediamattersforamerica: MEDIA MATTERS REPORT: The Myths And Facts About Coal  A 2009 study by the National Academy of Sciences examined monetized effects of coal emissions “on human health, visibility of outdoor vistas, agriculture, forestry, and damages to building materials” in 2005. Combined damages “were approximately $62 billion, or $156 million on average per plant.” More than 90% of monetized damages were associated with premature human mortality, and approximately 85% of damages came from SO2 emissions.
