HEAL Utah Community Night: Kicking the Coal Habit


HEAL Utah Community Night:
Kicking the Coal Habit

In recent years, HEAL Utah's focus on opposing the Green River reactors led the to a broader look at Utah's energy system, analyzing where our power comes from today – and where it should come from tomorrow. This lead HEAL Utah to publishing a technical study showing that Utah has vast reserves of untapped renewable energy potential. The eUtah study, published in December 2010, demonstrated that we can provide 100 percent of our electricity needs from wind, solar and geothermal – if we start that transition now.

In recent months, HEAL Utah  has opened up a new front in their bid to help propel Utah towards a clean energy future. They would like to invite you to a special Community Night to describe their new work: Pushing Utah to kick its nasty addiction to dirty coal. A short presentation will be given, then opened up for questions and discussions. The gathering will be in the HEAL conference room, which is currently decorated with beautiful black & white landscape photos of Utah's West Desert by HEAL board member Jeff Clay. A snack and beverage will be offered.

Kicking Coal Community Night topics:
• Utah: America’s most coal-addicted state?
• The cost of coal pollution on our health
• Coal Ash: the hidden menace
• How we can kick the coal habit
