Wendell Berry's life on Earth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wendell Berry made his choices and stuck to them. He did not have a computer or a smartphone.

But even in less trying times, Howell can’t risk another blackout. The station is a community hub for the s

But recent directives from the Trump administration mean the coal-fired plant that was slated for closure is most likely staying – and so is the planned gas plant next door. She lives across the river from the smokestacks of the Cumberland Fossil Plant. “To hear that they just decided to continue burning c
