How bout all you people that are against MTR turn your electricity off. Maybe then youll have a different outlook on coal and the people who mine it that try their hardest to work everyday just to provide for their families instead of laying around at the house on well fare. Im a friend of MTR and a friend of coal!
Good point but I doubt they could go a day without it unless forced to due to an outage.
I've never lived without indoor plumbing or electric but in my youth visited relatives that did. No TV, radio, lights, fridge, or phone, just a water well and an outhouse.
It was a very peaceful quiet place, darker than pitch at night with 1,000's of stars in the black sky, the only sounds were from the wildlife. It was amazingly different from city life.
I live in E. KY and am tired of the land being destroyed. Do we have to destroy everything we touch? I am a conservative, Right-winger Republican. I have never even voted for a Democrat. I can't stand most lefties but they are right on this. If the coal cannot be taken without raping the land, it doesn't need to be done. I do not care how many trees you plant after the strip-mining, it is NEVER the same. The environment is never the same. It is wrong
@WOWITsTRAINZ1995 It's time to end mountaintop removal. Coal is inefficient, destructive, and the coal commpanies are tyrants that are halting progression and bringing poverty. They destroy more than they will ever create.
@mountainmink Again i say Coal Keeps our lights on its our life its our power . Why dont u think Coal is Keeping ur power on too long enough for u to type a damn message about what u think is so bad about it
Richard Collier.... you my friend are an idiot.... "made of dirt.... a little leaky" Show proof... I can get on camera and say I'm a millionaire.... not true but I can still say it... get educated... know what you are talking about before getting on camera and making a fool of yourself
It's unfortunate that the debate over this issue has turned into a name calling contest. The fact is that MTR is incredibly destructive, and once the coal is gone, and the mountains are gone, there is very little left. I work in the field of forestry, and that area would be better served to productively manage a renewable natural resource like trees for a source of income. Trees grow back and the whole landform is not destroyed by cutting them. That doesn't make me a tree hugger.

I can show you places that have been mined... reclaimed.. trees planted... and if you didn't know it was an old mining site.. you could not tell the difference... please don't be like the extremely intelligent ashley judd... she actually said that our hardwood forest are irreplacable
I can show you a lot of places that have been strip mined in Indiana where I live, and the best thing they have growing on them after 20 years is black locust and stunted hardwoods < 10 feet tall. That soil is so compacted, it can't grow much but brush. It is a shame that reclamation results in the semi-moonscape that it does. You may not agree with me, but it is true.
@winmagnum It would be nice if our WV valley fills and half mountain won't even grow brush or stunted hardwoods. There is NO topsoil. I am sorry for us all.
@BHSdude91 Are you for real, or just trying to rile people up? I have stood on "reclaimed" land numerous times in numerous places, and it grows fescue, lespedeza, and locust, and that is about it. The productivity of these sites is decimated, and when one sees the gray subsoil, shale, and rocks sticking up everywhere there used to be topsoil, even an idiot can figure out it has been ruined.
@BHSdude91 I live in Harlan county KY and the reclamation done by Massey, Nally & Hamilton, A & G is all half assed at best there are few sites that have more weeds and brush than others but the majority is slain trees, mud, sludge, and gravel, you can't even grow weed up there. I don't hate coal miners or strip miners because I was fed and brought up on coal money but they could do a lot better job at reclamation.
Save a Miner-Hang a Tree Hugger. Those people didn't need arrested. They needed run over by coal trucks...Get out of the way, or be flattened. Let the miners do their jobs.
hey zappaman,you are an absolute idiot, heres a fact,YOU ARE USING COAL FROM MTR TO RUN YOU COMPUTER,HOME,ETC... that im sure of,i could care less about anything you say ,to me you are like a drug addict telling the world how bad cocaine is,and snorting it at the same time. i will say this,coal will not go without a fight,thats a fact,those of us that depend on it for our familys will fight to the end. wake up and smell the roses,this aint fairyland,its reality.
Philbusa- first of all if you would like to actually have a discussion, you should use the reply button. That way people will know when you are directing one of your brilliant comments at them.
Secondly... Unfortunately 5% of this country's power cones from MTR. I am doing what I can to change that.
Around 20% of this country's power comes from renewable sources,which is also being used to power BOTH of our computers. That percentage is growing every year, while coal is dropping. Time to evolve.
Renewable energy accounted for more than 10 percent of the domestically-produced energy used in the United States in the first half of 2008. U.S. wind power installed capacity now exceeds 25,176 MW which is enough to serve 7.0 million average households and wind turbines could more than meet U.S. electricity needs.
hey freedomjunkie420,what the hell do you think runs your computer. you are no doubt another check drawing cheese eating drain on society heres the deal,when you shut off your power and start leading by example,get you some solar panels and maybe a windmill,then maybe someone on here will listin to your points.untill then SHUT THE HELL UP JACKASS!
yes we are all using electricity. It would be nice to know that mountains were not permanently destroyed to produce that electricity.
It would be nice to know that some little girl in Prenter Holler didn't have to take a bath in poisonous water because of irresponsible slurry disposal, so that I can turn my lights on.
It would be nice to know that the kids at Marsh Fork elementary weren't forced to breath coal dust everyday so I can watch TV.
Massey mines irresponsibly because it is cheap for them... but it is not cheap for the people who live down wind from Kayford Mtn. who have to breath that crap day in and day out. It's not cheap for the folks in Prenter with hospital bills because they have been drinking poisoned water for years. It sure won't be cheap for the Marsh Fork kids who develop health problems later on.
You people don't care about Appalachia or its people. You just want to make a buck... no mater who it hurts.
Have you seen Kayford, Cabin Creek lately? It needs to be covered up. I was born there and hate to admit it because CC is nothing but a pill head, welfare drawing, drug selling community.

( I wasn't finished ) LOL - anyhow , why cant we let the radicals on both sides lay down and let some level headed(common sense) folks figure how we can STILL maintain our coal AS WE work towards other renewable energy options and when and as the mines work out our hard working miners could then fade into the new energy , seems purty simple to me , Oh well Im just an Ol dumb coal miner what do i know Im just tryin to figure out how we can all sleep easier , God Bless

Idiots have no idea how they're being played by Massey CEO Don Blankenship.
Mountaintop removal takes jobs away, by employing fewer miners than traditional methods. It takes resources from the state faster, uses them up and gives the profits to out-of-state companies like Massey.
Drive down to this site. the town's a shithole. the money isn't staying in state.
In a few years, the coal will be gone and there will be nothing left.
Do the research... Do you think that miners still use picks, shovels and donkeys?.... That may be a good job for you if you can't handle a pick or a shovel.... I hope you are smart enough to get that one. Underground miners stand behind curtains and operate their machines by remote control... tradition... Ninety percent of the coal that comes from surface mines never see a cleaning plant.... coal that is mined in the traditional method goes through a plant... there goes the toxic waste angle
Let me give you some advice.... take a bath, get your hair fixed from being matted together... get some deodorant... something strong please... hard to tell when you may be around water again.... and do some research on the subject you are protesting. Four percent of the mountains are suitable for MTR. These places are so steep... nothing productive could ever be done here. Don't get sucked into the lies that the little troll gibson is spreading.

yeah, and it was a massey wife who stepped out of line to hit a fellow coalfield resident at marsh fork. what about everyone else who wants to make a living, too? surface miners aren't the only ones with a dog in this fight. why tear everything all to hell for a fraction of coal & a fraction of employment opportunities? with some investments and MORE NEW JOBS we could make up that 7% for the energy grid. waiting for the rapture doesn't mean it's okay to ruin the earth for everyone else.
i love that you think you're god's spokesperson on this issue. i have seen reclaimed, and it isn't the natural paradise you describe. i don't call hydroseed and non-native/invasive species beautiful. have a good life.
I grew up in this area and remember very clearly that there WEREN'T any jobs around here (which is why SOOO many people left the state) UNTIL MASSEY ENERGY came along. You people THINK you know everything when in reality you are dumber than doorknobs. These Hollywood not so hots are just trying to keep in the spotlight any way they can because they sure can't act in movies!! Treehuggers GO HOME & LEAVE US ALONE!!!!
I AM home, and I refuse to stand by while coal companies blow away the beauty and heritage of our state. We are the mountain state, NOT the extraction state.
The coal miners coming together is a very good start. The lies that have been told with no opposition are pathetic. Prove more birth defects. Prove more heart disease. Prove that all the health problems associated with living close to a coal mine is not the same as the national average. The people that the treehumpers have drawn into their loop need to be better informed. Daryl Hannah would be a good place to start. Went to jail and has no clue why.
