You have seen kids on TV promoting the U.S. 250-year domestic coal supply and clean coal technology. Check this out at www.learnaboutcoal.org. This site is sponsored by a nonprofit organization called Americans for Balanced Energy Choices (ABEC).

Read about U.S. Department of Energy initiative for FutureGen - Tomorrow's Pollution-Free Power Plant, which is a $1 billion, 10-year demonstration project to create the world's first coal-based, zero-emissions electricity and hydrogen power plant.

Now come back down to earth and see the impact of resource extraction on the environment and rural communities at End Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining (http://www.ilovemountains.org/). More than 474 mountains have been destroyed. This site uses Google Earth so you can see for yourself the scale of mountaintop removal.
