Generating electricity by burning coal is extremely damaging to the environment. The mining of coal destroys local landscapes and pollutes waterways. Burning coal creates greenhouse gasses and toxic air pollution. Waste from coal plants is massive in quantity and toxicity. You probably knew this. Did you know that coal is becoming prohibitively expensive? Coal supplies are limited. The Powder River Basin contains 40% of the nations coal reserves and has about a 20 year economically recoverable supply. That means that coal will be increasingly more difficult and expensive to mine. Demand from China, India, and other industrializing nations is growing while supply is shrinking. And the Federal government is going to regulate carbon emissions in a way that will dramatically raise the price of coal.
The Solution
That's the bad news. The good news is that we can cut our coal use in half by maximizing the energy efficiency of our buildings and we can generate the rest of our electricity needs through clean renewable resources.
The Strategy
Awareness - The public needs to know about these problems and what to do to address them.
Availability - Efficiency and renewable energy need to be convenient and affordable.
Action - Citizens need to push decision makers to implement the solutions NOW!
As a canvasser with CSE you will be knocking on doors raising public awareness of the problems and solutions.
