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>

sense of place that it 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>.”
