  In 1880, coal was the primary energy source. Regions where coal was readily available, such as Ruhr Valley in Germany and western Pennsylvania in United States, witnessed exponential growth - yet also suffered the greatest damage from coal pollution. This title presents history of environmental policy and protest in the United States and Germany.
