What does “Dirty Energy” mean?
Not all sources of energy are created equal. For some, the damage caused by extracting, processing, and consuming the energy is too high a price to bear. While our society clearly needs energy to function, there are some sources that are best left in the ground, as any short-term economic benefit is far outweighed by the true costs –- including ruined landscapes, destroyed habitats, pollution of our water and air, and threats to the health of wildlife, our climate, and our communities.
