Indiana University recently took government-mandated steps to reduce emissions from the campus coal plant, but students active in the Sierra Club say that's not good enough and ask university officials to dump coal altogether. Sierra Club is targeting IU and ten other schools in an effort to get more colleges to transition to cleaner forms of energy. Assistant utilities director Mark Menefee says it would cost $16 million per year to use only natural gas, but IU currently pays only $3 million to run on coal and one gas boiler. We take you on-location to IU's Central Heating Plant for yesterday's Sierra Club rally.
