Solar Panels On A Coal Museum? You Can't Make This Up | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a report from Vox by David Roberts detailing how the Kentucky Coal Mining Museum in Benham, Kentucky, installed solar panels on its roof to slash its electricity bills—a poetic and powerful symbol of the inevitable transition away from coal and toward clean energy. Graham breaks down statistics on the booming solar industry (which now employs over 260,000 workers, dwarfing the U.S. coal mining workforce), the falling costs of renewable technology, and the futility of political efforts to prop up a dying industry. He emphasises the economic and environmental necessity of investing in clean energy, voting with your dollars, and supporting independent media.
