Corb Lund Sings Against Coal Mine

Canadian country star Corb Lund is leading a passionate grassroots fight against a controversial coal mine in Alberta, using his music and voice to rally support for a permanent ban on new coal projects. His song, written years ago, eerily foreshadowed the environmental battle now unfolding. With over 178,000 signatures, Lund and the Water Not Coal campaign delivered a petition demanding protection for the region’s vital water sources and ecosystems — including the headwaters of rivers that feed communities and agriculture. Though the mining company claims new safeguards and job creation, opponents remain skeptical, fearing irreversible damage. The petition could now trigger a public referendum, putting Alberta’s future energy policy in the hands of voters. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
