There are so many misconceptions about the coal-based industry—and your voice is one of the best ways to make sure people have the right information. It is energy awareness month, after all. So find one person and share just one fact about coal-based electricity to start making a difference. Need a jump-start? Try this one: From 1970 to 2015, emissions from coal-fueled power plants have been reduced by 92%.
