Description:
Burt Lauderdale is the Executive Director of Kentuckians For The Commonwealth (KFTC), a 26 year old statewide social justice organization that utilizes grassroots organizing and leadership development to address a broad range of environmental and economic justice issues.
Lauderdale will discuss the promise of the 1977 federal surface mining law and what he and KFTC describe as the systematic non-enforcement of this law. Lauderdale argues that this legacy of non-enforcement should not be overlooked when contemplating new energy policy, including laws, regulations, and incentives to promote the expanded use of coal and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
