April 15, 2009 Meeting: The Myth of Clean Coal

Much has been said recently about "clean" coal for generating electricity, focusing on carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of coal.  Come to this gathering to learn "the rest of the story."  Liz Wiles, Shoreline Solar Project board member and native West Virginian, will present the real dirty side of coal - the extraction of it - with a specific emphasis on mountain-top removal coal mining. Discover why, no matter how cleanly coal could be burned, there never will be a clean way to mine it.

Also speaking will be Ethan Bergerson of the Sierra Club.  Ethan will talk about coal usage in Washington and the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign to make WA a coal-free state.
