Saving the planet costs money, and that costs jobs.
In June, Century Aluminum Co. executives announced that they would idle the Hawesville, Kentucky aluminum mill for about 9 to 12 months as a result of skyrocketing prices to merely keep the plant’s lights on.
That's 600 jobs down the drain in Hawesville.
That 'cost of electricity' hike results from turning off coal-fired generators.
The Sierra Club has stepped up and will cover the costs of living for the 600 laid-off workers and their families until the plant re-opens.
The Sierra Club doesn't give a shit about the workers and their families.
