Locally owned and independent for more than 50 years.
The EPA is stalling the process of regulating CO2 due to intense pressure from the Big Coal. This industry is making billions while driving our ecosystem toward disaster.
Citizens must take a stand for viable alternatives to the tremendous damage of coal and nuclear energy.
More coal plants are not needed. Energy efficiency and renewables can meet our needs now and are actually more cost-effective.
The concept that we need "affordable, clean coal," a complete oxymoron, to "keep the lights on" is simply the result of a very expensive advertising campaign paid for by Big Coal. Don't buy into the hype.
Read the book "Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America's Energy Future" by Jeff Goodall for some perspective on this. Also, "The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth" by Tim Flannery.
Every single new coal plant will be directly responsible for the extinction of more species of life. There is no clean coal, only deadly coal. Educate yourself about these issues before it's too late. Your children with thank you for making the right decision to save their world.
