Beyond Coal: Citizen Activists Fight Big Coal

A FOUR-PART SERIES

About 50 percent of this country’s electricity is generated by coal-fired plants. But as concerns grow about the wide-ranging health and environmental effects of coal burning — from asthma to climate change — so has citizen opposition to new coal-burning electricity production. Around the West, grass roots efforts in Montana, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah show the power of local activism in shaping regional energy policies. These four videos document the efforts of ranchers, physicians, local politicians and other residents who rose up to say “no” to coal — and won.

In Great Falls, Montana, an unlikely alliance of farmers, environmentalists, historians and scientists formed to fight the proposed Highwood Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant. Their efforts show how local activists can stand up to outside energy interests.

In the Four Corners region of the American Southwest, a new coal-fired power plant has been proposed on Navajo lands. The Desert Rock Energy Project will worsen the region’s air quality, already degraded by two operating coal plants. Isn’t it time to turn away from coal?

In Sevier County, UT, citizens of this rural region stood up to a proposed coal-fired power plant, planned for one of Sevier’s most beautiful valleys.

Three new coal-fired power plants have been proposed for Nevada, even though the state has the highest potential for alternative energy development in the country.
