Both sides of the story,
This review is from: Burning The Future - Coal In America (Amazon Instant Video)
The documentary provided opportunity for both sides to air their views and opinions. These sides included coal company employees, politicians, landowners, and scientists.Undoubtedly the landowners and scientists win this argument simply through the terrific visuals of the ugliness of mountain top removal and scarred landscapes. It was most interesting to go into a mine, but coal is an ugly and dirty business with deep pockets as this film shows. The film also shows that Coal has brainwashed most of West Virginia into believing it is clean and cheap. Somehow most don't see the long term effects of water polution, greenhouse gas emissions, destroyed ecosystems and environmental/public health risks. There was even a coal miner that said that coal was created during Noah's Great Flood. This would be funny if it wasn't so sad to see such ignorance of basic science. But, even more disturbing were the scenes showing young students on school field trips to coal fired power plants being lectured by devoted employees talking about the "wonders" of coal. And so the circle continues for the citizens of West Virginia. Watch it, and you will see the march of folly in action.
