The Impacts of Coal Fired Power Plants


Coal fired power plants affect many aspects of life for the communities and environments that surround them. While this source of energy is on the decline in the US and other developed countries, the effects of the remaining coal fired power plants on the Earth’s atmosphere are still very real. This podcast by the  Institutes of Energy and the Environment  at Penn State explores the impact of the remaining coal fired power plants in Pennsylvania and their effect on the environment and local community. It also discusses the benefits of closing the plants. Listen here! Growing Impact: Moving away from coal | Institutes of Energy and the Environment
