SIERRA CLUB'S TRAILCO EXPERT TESTIMONY IS FOUND AT THIS WEBPAGE ON OUR CHAPTER WEBSITE

They claim coal is clean—the truth is it’s the dirtiest source of energy there is.
They claim coal is cheap—when in reality coal has caused electricity costs to spike across the country.
They claim coal is abundant—we know coal resources will start to permanently decline in just 20 years.
The coal industry has spent over $40 million on misleading advertising that touts coal as the next great thing to solve the energy crisis. It’s time for a reality check. Check out the video and information at: http://www.CoalIsNotTheAnswer.org
