George Fox Evangelical Seminary will host a free screening of the film Dirty Business: ‘Clean Coal’ and the Battle for Our Energy Future from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13, in Room 155 of the Portland Center.
The 90-minute feature documentary investigates the true cost of our dependence on coal for electricity in the age of climate change. The film, produced by the Center for Investigative Reporting, addresses questions such as: “Can coal ever really be made ‘clean’?†“If we were to try to wean ourselves off coal, how would we keep the lights on?†and “Is renewable energy ready for prime time?â€
And, ultimately, “Can we rethink the way we produce and consume energy – and summon the political will to do it – in time to avert environmental disaster?†Guided by Rolling Stone reporter Jeff Goodell, Dirty Business seeks answers in a series of stories shot in West Virginia, Nevada, Kansas, New York, Saskatchewan and China.
The screening is being hosted in conjunction with the seminary’s Christian earthkeeping program. Questions? Contact Dan Brunner at ext. 6160 or dbrunner@georgefox.edu.
