Abstract:

Claims from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that the majority of their coal comes from deep mines are explored. IndyWeek investigated these claims and found that a major supplier supplies coal from mountaintop removal mines. The other sources of UNC-CH’s coal supply are explored along with their environmental impact.
