Coal Power Plants - A Link to Autism?

A recent study from the University of Texas says that coal power plants are emitting environmental mercury and causing the rise of autism in children.  One professor at a rally in Dallas, Texas, today has declared that the closer a child lives to a coal power plant, the greater the risk of developing autism than a child living father away from that plant.

In a related story, the parents of one autistic child have been taking the child's urine for tests four times a month and each time the findings show a high level of mercury.  The child hasn't been vaccinated in the last four years.  The family lives near a coal power plant.
