Tonight, one of the most significant debates over coal will be happening in West Virginia. Don Blankenship, CEO of Massey Coal and one of major opponents to clean energy, is debating the founder of the Waterkeepers Alliance, Robert Kennedy. These two men are practically celebrities in the coal debate, and the crowd will be unruly.
Blankenship was selected by Rolling Stone as one of the top “Climate Killers” in the nation, the people who are doing the most to stall progress on addressing climate change. But he retains many ardent fans who believe that coal is essential to West Virginia’s economy.
