The
big fossil energy corporations keep telling us we have no
choice and simply must keep destroying communities(with
mountaintop coal mining), spewing pollution and causing
10’s-of-1000’s of illnesses and deaths in the
US(with mercury, arsenic, ozone, etc., etc.) and endangering
the planet with CO2 — and all just to boil some water
to make electricity. But it’s a lie… Even in
the heart of coal country in WV, they have a vision and
want to see a wind-farm on their ridges, rather than dismantling
the mountains for coal.
There’s
a great new film, “The Last Mountain” which
tells this amazing story. The film opened, June 3rd in NY
and DC.

The
film features Bobby Kennedy, Jr. and many incredible activists
who are fighting Big Coal and proving that it will take
a lot of heart to move the country forward. But we know
it can be done — Germany just proved that today. But
with the fossil fuel industry twisting democracy to their
advantage, it’s going to take some action on our part!
