Environmental Media Services: The True Cost of Coal

From Environmental Media Services:

Shareholders in the billion dollar China Light and Power (CLP) company were today confronted with the real cost of burning fossil fuels. Greenpeace activists and people from communities suffering the devastating impacts from coal fired power stations across Asia, disrupted CLP’s annual celebration of its dirty energy trade at the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel.”

For every dollar of profit made by CLP last year, it is estimated it cost communities across the region nearly $4 in health and environmental impacts.
