♫ The answer, my friend,
is blowing in the wind ♫
Location: Coal River Valley, West Virginia, USA
Themes: coal mining, carbon sequestration, renewable energy, economic development
Summary: In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, a community is proposing a bold solution to climate change: a 328-megawatt wind farm that would power 70,000 homes.
The wind farm would not only produce renewable energy forever, but also save the area's last intact mountain from devastation by mountaintop removal coal mining. Instead of blasting away 6,000 acres of Coal River Mountain to extract coal, a wind farm on the ridge tops would provide permanent jobs for the community.
The wind farm proposal has become a symbol of hope as people fight to protect their community from the threat of mountaintop removal coal mining.
