Ken Hechler On Overweight Coal Trucks
On Friday, Oct. 11 at 4:30 p.m. at the Alumni Lounge of Marshall University's Memorial Student Center, Ken Hechler will deliver a paper entitled "How the Overweight Coal Truck Issue Awakened The Sleeping Giant of West Virginia Public Opinion To Score a Victory Over the Power Structure."
A panel, including Charleston Gazette editorial writer Dan Radmacher and WVU Professor Alan Hammock, will discuss Hechler's paper. Professor James Forrester of West Liberty College will moderate.
Is There a Coal Slurry Impoundment Near You?
OVEC intern Bobby Nutter, under the guidance of Rick Eades and Josh Beck, produced a series of mountaintop removal maps for OVEC. A grant from the Progressive Technology Project funded the internship, as well as the Geographical Information Systems software and hardware needed to produce the maps. Much of the data used to produce the maps came from the WV Department of Environmental Protection. If every picture tells a story, then these maps, fist of their kind produced by a WV environmental group, are an encyclopedia! Check them out on-line.
