Two events at Channing-Murray Foundation (1209 W. Oregon St, Urbana)
this week:<br>
<br>
<b>6:30-8:30PM, Monday, April 7th</b><br>
film on "clean" coal and the battle for our energy future:<br>
<br>
<b>"Dirty Business"</b><br>
<br>
<blockquote>Half of our electricity comes from coal, the largest
single source of greenhouse gases. But it doesn't have to be
that way. Featuring stories from China to W.Virginia, "Dirty
Business" reveals the true social and environmental costs of coal
power and explores the murky realities of "clean coal"
technology. Guided by Rolling Stone reporter Jeff Goodell, the
film highlights the work of energy innovators and the viable,
renewable alternatives they offer in an age of rapid climate
change.<br>
<br>
Film followed by discussion. (I'm told there will be someone from
the local group Stand Up to Coal, and someone from Prairie Rivers,
to facilitate the discussion.) All welcome. Light
refreshments served.<br>
<br>
