In this interview taped September 24, 2011 at Branford Park in Pacoima, California, Kent Minault – the volunteer coordinator for the San Fernando Valley portion of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Los Angeles campaign – describes the goals of the campaign in detail. Minault discusses the economic benefits of moving LA away from coal as an energy source, the steps to increasing our energy efficiency, and the rise of the Beyond Coal movement, a volunteer-driven effort that is gaining momentum across the city.
