Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining Presentation

Thursday, April 30th at 6:00 PM in Cartwright room 259

There will be a guest speaker from Appalachian Voices speaking about the evils of mountain top removal coal mining.

This is being organized by the Sierra Club as part of their campaign to convert all state owned coal fired power plants, all of which use coal from mountain top removal. Governor Doyle has mandated that the UW Madison coal plant will be converted from coal to natural gas and biofuels. This presentation will allow UW-L sustainability supporters to network and begin to build a case for switching over UW-L's coal power plant as well.
