Coal provides half of America’s electricity, but at
what cost? Though rhetoric about “clean coal”
abounds, <b>36%</b> of US global warming emissions
comes from our coal-burning plants. <b>Every 11-1/2
days</b>, the explosive equivalent of the
Hiroshima atomic bomb is unleashed on the mountains
of southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky—for
coal.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Burning the Future: Coal in America</b></i>
examines the explosive conflict between the coal
industry and residents of West Virginia. Confronted
by a global reliance on coal-generated electricity,
local activists watch the world praise coal without
regard to the devastation caused by its extraction.
<br>
<br>
Faced with <br>
• toxic groundwater, <br>
• the obliteration of 1.4 million acres of
mountains, and <br>
• a government that appeases industry, <br>
<br>
these citizens launch a valiant fight to protect
their mountains, save their families, and preserve
their way of life.<br>
<br>
<i>BURNING THE FUTURE</i> exposes the truth behind
mountaintop coal extraction and offers tools for
everyone to carve out a cleaner future.<br>

rips you up in ways that other, less-rooted
documentaries don’t…I cannot recommend it too
highly.</i>” ~ David Edelstein, New York Magazine<br>
<br>
“<i>This compelling and timely film burns through
the ‘clean coal' rhetoric of industry front
groups, showing the harsh truth of the coal
story...</i>” - Bruce Nilles, Sierra Club<br>
<br>
“<i>The flawless beauty of Novack's coverage of
dynamited mountains, slurry pools and rapidly
churned-out coal underscores the inexorability of
the practice and the devastation in its wake.</i>”
~Variety<br>
<br>
“<i>If a documentary has the potential to save lives
in the apparent absence of concerned and caring
authorities, Burning the Future surely stands as
an exemplary contribution to determined human
advocacy</i>.” ~ NEWSBLAZE | Prairie Miller</td>
