Once again, little old Boone's Appalachian Voices is featured on Earthbeat Radio, and yet again, there is no local over the air outlet that you can tune in to hear the program. Here's what the show is about:
Coal is a dark and dirty source of energy -- it's also the source of about 80 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.
So why is the coal industry pushing to build over 100 new coal-fired power plants across America? They're rushing construction before Congress finally sets caps on greenhouse gases. But activists are fighting back.
...
Then we focus on one plant planned in Wise County, Virginia. Joining us from Charlottesville, Virginia is Cale Jaffe, the lead attorney fighting against the planned Dominion Virginia power plant. Cale is a staff attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center. Joining him is Matt Wasson, the conservation director for the group, Appalachian Voices.
Earthbeat Radio is free for the taking: any station can air the program--as many college and community radio stations do. But not WASU-FM--they're a little too wired in to the corporate media world, wouldn't you say?
