The Unhealthy Thirst For Coal
Learn about the unhealthy thirst for coal--from mountain top removal, coal-fired power plants, to new transmission lines.
Mountain Top Removal has damaging impacts to the environment-- destroying the mountaintop, burying streams, and causing health problems from the debris.
Coal-fired power plants are the largest known contributor to hazardous air pollutants--spreading pollutants across the East Coast and Canada.
New transmission lines contribute to the Coal-By-Wire cycle, delivering dirty coal-powered electricity to markets in the Northeast.
