All the hype about clean coal technology (and it's not clean yet) does nothing to alleviate the destruction incurred in the mining of the material, before it even gets to the power plant to be burned.
Watch Coal Country on Saturday, November 14 at 8pm ET (airing again several days later, check the TV schedule for listings) and learn about the practice of mountaintop removal, where the tops of mountains are literally blasted off to expose the seams of coal inside. The runoff pollutes nearby waterways and causes endless health problems for communities living near coal mines.
After the film, join the forum to talk about the film—what you learned, what you liked or didn't like, and most importantly, come to share ideas about how to stop the destruction.
See you online.
