Spin-buster extraordinaire Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report hosted University of Maryland scientist Margaret Palmer, the author of a study that says wind, solar and other renewables will provide coal-dependent communities the sort of jobs that, over the long-term, will be good for their environment and their pocket books.
Her study concludes that “mining permits are being issued despite the preponderance of scientific evidence that impacts are pervasive and irreversible and that mitigation cannot compensate for losses.”
