In Tennessee last week, there was a massive spill of over one billion gallons of toxic coal ash next to a coal-burning steam plant. The sludge spilled out of a coal plant retention pond, burying homes and roads. It is believed to be the largest coal ash disaster in US history.
This film talks about the issues with coal burning plants and steps, everyone, from businesses, government, individuals can take to conserve energy and use alternative sources of energy, saving money and saving the environment

My husband was just watching something on TV about homes being built in Germany. These homes do not have any furnaces and I guess are sealed in such a way that furnaces are not needed. It uses some sort of air exchange system. It is exciting to read and watch the new developments in energy.
