Memo 5: Which experts? How are you going to get interviewees to participate? What regions, towns, cities are you going to focus on? What happens to the places that no longer mine? What is going to happen when coal is (i hope) not used for fuel? What the heck does "middle" culture mean? Does the advocacy of Advocacy after Bhopal seem more like something that might be more intellectually stimulating?

memo 6: the topic the people the culture the stories the advocacy the corruption the politics ???  Memo 7: when did other states become larger coal producers? What about newer coal tech, e.g. gassification, mining operations, regulatory rules? Do they still use canaries?  memo 8:  what about larger environmental organizations, are none involved? what about unions? what about actors outside of coal producing states?

not in the right place, but just a thought: what about documentaries and other material (you like stories right?)
