News Coverage of Mountaintop Removal Mining Demonstration

The mountaintop removal coal mining demonstration on UW-L's Wittich Field on Thursday, February 18 received both television and newspaper coverage in the La Crosse area. Read more about the demonstration in the La Crosse Tribune article. Watch the WXOW-TV19 video of the demonstration. UW-L students Jeremy Gragert (who "blew" the top off the mountain of snow), Elizabeth Ward and Gretchen Gerrard took part in the demonstration. It's hoped that UW-L can transition from burning coal to using natural gas and then a more sustainable fuel like biomass.
