EPA Coal Ash Hearing Banner
Greenpeace activists Hope Kaye, left, and Lisa Ramsden rappel to unfurl a banner on the site of Coal Ash hearings at the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky September 28, 2010. Highlighting the need for federal standards to protect public health from hazardous coal waste the activists unfurled the 23 x 23-square-foot banner that read “EPA: PROTECT PEOPLE, NOT POLLUTERS – QUIT COAL.” The protest was held at the location of the 7th of eight public hearings conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on two proposals for the regulation of coal ash disposal.

    I think solar is the way to go… We just need to start building solar panel arrays with every home occupied… They could still find a way to get money out of us somehow…

    I think solar is one of many great options we should utilize.

    I think we need to explore the new

    and bring back the tried and true (trampled by the oil & timber barons)
