Advocates for coal say that America cannot afford to turn its back on this cheap and abundant fuel. Opponents respond that the environmental costs—including mountaintop removal mining and accelerated climate change—are too high to pay. The debate is heating up in Virginia, where Dominion Power is seeking approval for a massive new coal-fired plant in Wise Country. Many religious groups oppose the plant. This lively forum, moderated by Washington Post energy correspondent Steven Mufson, will look at both sides of the issue.
