Summary and Strong Response
The NAACP article talks about the causes of pollution from burning coal in power plants
along with its issues to our health and the environment. American people who live near power plants fueled by coal are poorer in comparison to
the rest of America. With roughly 39% of the effected geared towards a certain race. The article
emphasizes that American minorities of certain race are facing the most severe side effects living
near the power plants.
Additionally, in the article NAACP is trying to get politicians and organizations to switch
to a cleaner source of energy to save the environment, in hopes of a lessening the burden on the
people and climate. The truth was revealed in this report in regards to this so called clean coal,
which isn’t as clean as it claims to be.
Furthermore, the toxic fumes from these so call clean power plants are causing a human
rights issue largely due to the influx of chronic lung symptoms, 13,200 premature fatalities and
9700 hospitalizations yearly across the United States. Response to the Editor I am writing to you in regards to your article “NAACP Report Reveals Disparate Impact
of Coal- Fired Power Plants”. I agree with your statement in your article on the negative effects
of burning coal in power plants, "Old, dirty coal plants are poisoning our environment, and
emissions controls are simply not sufficient. We need to transition from coal and replace plants Module 3 – Summary and Strong Response 3
with profitable, clean energy alternatives."(Paragraph 5). Currently with our current
technological advances we have so many options for a more profitable renewable energy. Many
of which are already steadily becoming mainstream such as wind turbines, solar energy, and
hydroelectricity. All of which can generate electricity with absolutely zero impact on our health
and the environment.
Additionally, I find myself agreeing with your statement, "Coal pollution is literally
killing low-income communities and communities of color” (Paragraph 3). Lower income
communities which suffer due to their financial blockages hindering them to seek medical
treatment expeditiously for their respiratory disorders caused by the pollution from the coal
burning power plants.
However, I disagree that coal pollution is the only cause of 13200 premature deaths and
9700 hospitalizations every year in the United States (Paragraph 8). I have no doubt in my mind
that the toxic fumes from the coal burning power plant is one of many contributing factors. Was
noise pollution, light pollution or even their preexisting medical conditions not considered a
factor? These other factors affect the figures for deaths and hospitalizations and should be
considered, including all of those that are living near power plants powered by coal. Module 3 – Summary and Strong Response 4
