Clean Coal Hits The Open Road
Where do I even begin?
In advance of our activities in Ohio, our America’s Power vans have been working their way to the Buckeye State, spreading the message about American coal along the way.
Some of us spent Tuesday in Wichita, Kansas, where we handed out packets to the city’s Chamber of Commerce and chatted up the editorial staff at the Wichita Eagle and Wichita Business Journal.
Meanwhile, one of our vans was in Salt Lake City, where we talked to a local news reporter in front of the state capitol building (see above photo). We also visited with students at the University of Utah, including the staff at the school newspaper, The Chronicle.
From there, we stopped in Brighton, Colo., to meet with a reporter at the Brighton Blade. Then we headed to Commerce City, Colo., to meet with Norm Union of the Commerce City Beacon. He asked us for a shirt, and we left him with information on clean coal.
In Denver, we handed out information to about 60 people in front of the capitol building and the Denver Mint. We also stopped by the Colorado State University campus and handed out t-shirts and talked to about 80 students. We also visited with Jared from the student radio station.
While all of this was happening, we had another America’s Power van working its way through Virginia. It stopped in Richmond before traveling 200 miles to Roanoke, making stops in Waynesboro and Stauton.
Reporters were interested in the van (see above), and we did an interview with Kathy Still of the Bristol Herald Courier and Velden Hill of WWVA-TV, the local NBC affiliate. The TV interview will air tonight.
By the way, near Wytheville, Va., the interstate highway system presented us with what appears to be a geographic impossibility. Whether through a polar anomaly or an actual rip in the space-time continuum, we suddenly found ourselves traveling both north and south at the same time. Take a look:
