BBC World Service - Boston Calling, It’s Getting Hot in Here

Two US coal miners, two different perspectives on the future of coal.

One current and one former coal miner have very different reactions to President Trump’s energy order. 

Also: Christiana Figueres, one of the main architects of the Paris Climate Agreement, tells us why she thinks relaxing environmental regulations is bad for the US economy; a formerly rich city comes up with a unique plan to regain its former glory; beer brewers and hop growers adapt to climate change; and Siervas, a band of rocking nuns from Peru, closes out the show. 

(Image: Nick Mullins, a former coal miner, says “Some days… mining could be really enjoyable...but I know the costs in the long run, and I know that the good times never lasted.” Credit: Courtesy of Nick Mullins)
