Fossil Injustice: Tušimice coal power plant, Czech Republic
<p>“The sound of burning coal is the sound of politics.” Our sonic expedition begins at the heart of the energy production of a country that traditionally relies on fossil fuels. The sounds emanating from the machines, engines and turbines of a coal-fired power plant reveal not only the nature of this energy infrastructure, but also represent the logic of the power – both physical and political – that it wields over its surroundings. What impact does the power plant have on the life in its vicinity? And what prevents a political decision from stopping this slow violence?</p>
