How does our need for energy impact communities?

As our human population soars, we must keep finding and using the earth's natural resources to feed our huge appetite for energy. But it is not only the earth we change as we use up its resources but it is also the small communities, which are impacted and often destroyed, taking with them diverse cultures and traditions.
KETC/Channel 9 and the Missouri History Museum are exploring the impact of coal energy and mining through the free screening of the Independent Lens film, "Deep Down". The free screening will take place Nov. 4, 2010 at 7:00 P.M. in the Missouri History Museum. For the panel discussion after the screening, KETC is looking for a local person who has experience or knowledge in coal energy and/or mining and who would love to engage in a conversation with the audience.

If you don't believe you have insight to share at this time, that's fine. Just ignore the form, or pass this note to someone else who might have a story to tell.
Thanks, we look forward to hearing from you soon.
