TRANSCRIPT: The clock is ticking, America. It's time we focused on reality instead of rhetoric. It's time we get serious about energy companies and the devastation that they inflict on communities and the planet. It's time we started creating new energy technologies, ones that are plentiful and renewable. It's time we recognized that the billions of dollars invested in dirty coal technologies have poisoned drinking water, destroyed jobs and local economies, and contributed massively to the global warming crisis we face today. It's time we finally get serious about the fact that coal is a human rights crisis that disproportionately affects those that are already oppressed in the current global economy. The clock is ticking. There's never been a more important time to turn away from fossil fuels and find alternatives that won't wreak havoc on individuals, communities, and the environment.
