Retired coal miners struggling to keep their black lung benefits. Younger laid-off miners seeking jobs in renewable energy. But those coal-lobbyists are “like ticks on a dog”.

I frequently find that the videos you post (and make?) will not play where I am-eastern Canada. Do not know at what level that decision is made-maybe it costs you more? I can only say that I regret not being able to see them because the ones I can see I find very informational.
There is quite a strong environmental movement in Nova Scotia. I met up with Jessica Ernst when she visited here when we (and she)were in the thick of activism against fracking.
Currently there is a lot of activism against expanding gold mining.
Jessica came several times to Ireland lecturing about her experience with the fracking industry and how the state and the judiciary are covering up all the crimes of these frackers. I’m frequently in contact with her. She’s a great character. Ask her for my email if you want to get in touch with me for further correspondence.

Thank you for your posts.
All playing here in Europe. Did you try to click on the video headline to open the video on YouTube? If this doesn’t work, try a VPN service.
Yeah thanks, after paying a bit more attention and not just blindly clicking- I chased the video down on Youtube.
Goodstuff.

Good CBS video (though I did skip over most of the lobbyist interview).
