One in six babies - over 700,000 each year - are born with harmful levels of mercury in their blood.  Coal-burning power plants generate 54% of our electricity and are the single biggest air polluter and source of mercury pollution in the U.S.

As an author and activist, I’ve tended to focus on the environmental damage caused by coal-burning power plants.  Since being introduced to Creation Care, a faith-based movement for environmental stewardship, I recognize a more immediate moral crisis. Our principal form of electricity is harming the most vulnerable humans: the unborn.
