Video on Coal Supply Constraints

[Jake Meffley]

Below is a message I received this week that I think is well worth passing on to all of you who have supported IREA Voices in the past. 

Many of you have heard Leslie Glustrom speak on the topic of global warming and the need to move towards renewable energy sources as quickly as we can. The YouTube link below is well worth watching. Please take the brief 15 minutes it takes and view this message in its entirety. 

The message presented is quite clear ...... we can NOT count on the long term supply of cheap coal to meet our electricity needs. Per this video, and the supporting report referenced in the message below, the supply of cheap coal will dwindle to next to nothing in less than 20 years!

My challenge to you is to watch this video, read the report, and if you or anyone you know, doubts the conclusions that are drawn, challenge Clean Energy Action with facts of your own. IREA is gambling with your future and has "gone all in" with coal as the solution for its energy needs going forward. Who is asking IREA the tough questions regarding future coal supplies as referenced in this video?

Thanks for your time and your support of IREA Voices,

Jake Meffley

 

All--Below is the link to a 15 minute You Tube video on coal supply constraints. It is an interview with me and basically covers the issues that many of you have heard from me directly, but you may want to pass it on to others.

The details and references of course are in the report on coal supplies available at www.cleanenergyaction.org.

 

The video is from the Next Agenda conference that took place in San Francisco, Callifornia on September 17, 2009. Many thanks to Dane Cobble in Boulder for getting Alison Burchell and I an invitation to what was (otherwise) a pretty exclusive affair!  :)

Best to all and many thanks for your support of this work. Leslie
