Review of Electricity: Paying the Price

Good solid report about what the search for coal is doing to parts of Ohio. I'd recommend this to any Ohio PD or any PD looking for some insight to electricity and mining and hazards -- this story focused not so much on the environmental impact, but the specific impact on one person. That makes the piece that much more potent.
The narrator/reporter puts everything into easy to understand terms and didn't load up on what would seem to be the obvious "bad guy" -- the mining company causing all the trouble (the real culprit might look a little bit more like you and me). But, she didn't hold back from going there.
About 75% of the way through, the audio got a little echo-ey, but just for a moment. And, it ends a little abruptly, due to the way the last sound byte ends. It needs a quick exit take from the local talent, but those small issues shouldn't prevent someone from airing this piece.
