Not too long ago there was a major grassroots effort to shut down Fisk and Crawford; Chicago's two coal-fired power plants. The Fisk plant also just so happens to be located a few blocks away from where Good Stuff producer, Ryan Wolff, has lived for the past five years.

Ryan explores some of the history and controversy surrounding the two plants, and how they affected the lives of the people in the community.
