I live in Western Montana where the debate over what energy resource the state should pursue is heating up in a place some have called 'the Saudi Arabia of coal'. Coal is a dirty fossil fuel. It's dirty to mine, it's dirty when it's transported and it's dirty to burn. It's just plain dirty. And until an environmentally feasible way to sequester it is proven and reliable, there's no reason we should allow another coal plant to be built. I don't care how many dirty coal plants are being built in China each week- we can't compete for the rapid destruction of the air we breathe.
And even though this is a wicked-hot topic which is being written about nearly every day with commentary even billowing from the papers of Time Magazine, a sound documentary is still waiting to be made about carbon sequstration and arguably the larger issue- what direction will national policy and research funding be spent- which also remains relatively unexplored.
So i'm looking for good tips from articles anyone sees regarding these topics.
Here's a grassroots shout of thanks!
