Will Pollution Kill the Revolution?
Chapter
Abstract
Bilina, Czechoslovakia — a nightmarish panorama spreads out from a hillock near this Bohemian town. A gigantic, coal-black pit, the Gorky strip mine, runs on the left all the way to the horizon. In the middle of the scene stand power plants and grimy factories. Their tall stacks spew effluent into the hazy air. On the right, filling the rest of the picture, lies an expanse of bare earth.
