Letter to the Editor: MU should continue work toward alternative energy
Abstract:
I'm really glad you wrote about the Missouri students' rally for coal-free energy on Wednesday. It's a really important issue to address.
From blowing off mountain tops in mountain top removal mining to toxic coal ash disposal, everything in coal power generation is incredibly destructive. An important example of this is coal plants emit nearly 40 percent of our nation's carbon dioxide emissions, significantly contributing to global warming. Recent studies have predicted that Missouri will look more like Texas by this century's end and agricultural yields will drastically decline due to extreme weather and climate changes if emissions aren't dramatically reduced.
