When electricity comes "out of the wall," it's pretty certain that coal was burned to generate that juice. And a LOT of it. Coal-fired power plants use of coal in 2008 would more than fill the Grand Canyon. It's useful, but in the age of Climate Change, is coal still SMART? And how smart is our management of power plant waste? Ginger Gambaro, organizer with LEO - Labadie Environmental Organization - lays out vital info for our region as Ameren seeks a permit to build a Coal Combustion Waste landfill in the Labadie floodplain of Missouri River. Visit www.leomo.info for details in addition to this vitally informative "Earthworms" interview.
