14 DAY TRIAL // If you ever wondered what the deal with coal was and why greenheads would stop at nothing to see this energy source phased out, check out the video above and odds are you'll get the answers you're looking for.
This animation, titled “Coal 101: What's Wrong With Coal,” was posted online by the Sierra Club only a few days back.
It details how both mining for coal and burning it harm not just the environment, but people as well.
True, the United States has been making progress towards shutting down coal-powered energy plants, but dozens of them are still up and running.
The harmful emissions that these plants send flying into the air around them and into the atmosphere are things that ordinary folks and high officials should really start worrying about, the greenheads point out.
“From mining, to burning, to disposal, coal is wreaking havoc on our health and our planet.”
“Powering our country by burning coal is dangerous. It's time to transition Beyond Coal to clean, renewable sources of energy,” the Sierra Club says.
