Check out this video of RAN’s executive director facing off with Joe Lucas from the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
As Amy Goodman of Democracy Now points out at the beginning of the interview, the scary reality is that both political candidates are caught up in
clean coal fever - dropping the phrase at every opportunity. However, from
what Jeff Biggers reported for CNN,
more and more of the people in coal country itself are hungry for alternatives
to coal jobs. In fact, he says “In a recent poll released by the
Opinion Research Corp., the majority of West Virginian voters supported
energy independence through wind and solar power over coal.”
Both candidates need to wake up and smell the clean energy coffee.
And Joe Lucas, along with the coal industry needs to find a new job.
