Conscious Voices #10 - Cost of coal industry to family farmers; poet Betty Bleen


54:29 minutes (99.77 MB)

We listen to the poignant story of Elisa Young, a woman who moved to the farm that had been in her family since the Revolutionary War only to find everything dying around her. She blames the four coal plants that encircle her - and talks about her fight to prevent new coal plants coming to the area.

We talk to the Ohio Consumer's Counsel about their views on one of the coal plants, and give you tips on what you can do to help.
