Strip Mining

[7442max]

strip miners and open pit mines use like 10 Tons of TNT everyday and they also destroy mountains.they also use machines that are huge and weigh like 15 Tons and the dump-trucks are as big as houses(the bucket-excavators are too).

[SuperSomeonethere]

Strip miners don't have shit on an underground miner! Idc what anyone says! Grow some balls......go underground!

[joyangels4caylee]

topix.com/forum/city/war-wv/TV­7F7HAU0G6D5EHJB/ end mountain top removal!

[dvferrelll]

forest fires

[dvferrelll]

strip mining prevents forest fies.

[dvferrelll]

support your local strippers.

[CAUTIONimGOOD]

minecraft in real life eh?

[zemphyre]

THEY MISSED THE DIAMOND OMG!!!!

[jewy644]

Thumbs up if minecraft sent you here ?

[HorseCents]

@cosmosxiv,

One way to eliminate environmentalism is to encourage white Americans to have more babies. If we can boost America's population to a billion people, so much land will be needed for mining & drilling that there will be no more "environment" to protect. This will speed God's plan of making the world a humans-only paradise.

Also, shoot every "endangered species" you see. That will stop the socialist ESA by wiping out those animals altogether. Too many tax dollars are wasted on them.

[HorseCents]

The liberal hillbillies don't understand that God put coal here for Man to take and use as Man sees fit. Those mountains are just useless overburden that cover the true wealth God created for His children.

Don Blankenship is an American hero and global warming is a hoax. Vote Republican so we can continue the proud tradition of using nature as God intended. See my video for more information.

[shoppy54]

any diamonds???

[jackthedrummer747]

keep coal mining in america keep strip mining out

[mountain19]

maybe the moon once looked like earth?....maybe for all we are allowed to learn who knows?

[zyragraziel]

I would like to ask if I could use some parts of your video. Thanks

[MegaNullchecker]

@cosmosxiv yes, it's also my idea, all is coming from earth!!, dioxin, asbest, radioaktivity and all other bad stuff!

[oXNOMXo]

thumbs up if minecraft brought you here!

[doomguild]

i came here from minecraft :(

[AlterSdanial]

@doomguild me too lol :p

[AVAMagneticlev]

We all know strip minning screws up everything for all not just the people.

Years to come we with curse ourselfs for letting it go on so long and it will become a crime to do this.

There is no argument to make this practise a good thing

After wrecking the land and mountains the coal is then burned and wrecking the air we breath.

[AVAMagneticlev]

OK lesson the impact easy less people on earth taking less.

And shoot all those that belive that money and growth are more important than life it self.

The real problem is these kind of people as in my country It was said by polititions that saving the planet was just to expensive best to life and enjoy now and screw all those comming after us A Great policy NOT!

[dosh225]

@Yuffie3982 I'm no greenie but i'm with you here, what they are doing here is wrong, there are other ways to do things, @ 1.1 billion tons per year they are ripping out of the ground, the US has 77 yrs of coal left to dig, scary being from little Australia knowing we have 170+ years worth at our current rate, then whats going to happen when there's no coal left? we should be using solar down here we get sun all year round have a desert over 1/2 the size of America wind waves everything needed,

[pingpro4]

@dosh225 just fyi.... the US has only used 8% of the coal that is still able to be mined... that means that there is over 180 years left of coal in the US not 77.

[bitethatcunt]

Major contract mining firms rarely violate environmental regulations. And those that suddenly and madly fell in love with the environment while watching this video should, instead of rambling about your biggest recent crush on environment here, consider turning off your computer a minute early and REALLY do something to save the environment.

[SimpleBanana]

Its Beautiful. So much coal.

[TheYou0Tuber]

I know that it is impossible to live without these resources, but we need to at least try and figure out a more efficient way of getting at the specific minerals rather than this strip mining.

[bitethatcunt]

@TheYou0Tuber We've tried, it's your turn to try.

[sasktank]

this mine is in Canada---for the commenters who didnt seem to know

[studio7manga]

@acavideo

"The root problem is that the human population never stops growing"

Kill yourself then. Or at the very least never have children.

[guitarman964]

...this is bad

[PIONEERaudioLOVER]

@cosmosxiv who are you to say how to run the world. Yes you are right we are overpopulating. but who fucked up and elected you king of the world. nothing can stop this. no matter how hard people try. unless you commit mass genocide and kill off 2/3 of the worlds population. this is all way out of anyones and everyones control now and there is no sense in making a big fuss about what can not be stopped trying to stop this is like trying to stop the world from going around the sun.

[manisdrillingcompany]

The biggest coal seem I've ever seen Is 20 foot and I core drilled it check out my videos

[troyfrtc]

theirs a 70 foot thick seam in wyoming

[Andrearoe]

@troyfrtc yea but it aint as good as ours here in West Virginia !!!! we have the best in the world!!!!

[HaulinOre]

If it cant be grown it must be mined

[bluecoatscheesypoofs]

Big Muskie, the largest dragline excavator was built for the purpose of digging over 200 feet deep into the coal seam in its Muskingum mine. That seam wasnt even the largest

[Bnic5]

you arent serious about a 40 foot thick coal seam being the thickest in the world are you? In the Powder River Basin of Wyoming there are 170 foot coal seams and in Mongolia there are 300 foot coal seams

[19caribou61]

Hers a good slogan for the coal industry. COAL it doesnt just ruin the air we breathe,it also devastates the landscape! Buy more coal and get yourself a respirator also.......

[ezallan]

You dumb ass greenies probably still use fossil feuls to run your vehicles because you can't afford the electric or even hybrid ones. Go out and thank a miner today. By the way... You're Welcome. USW local 1595.

[bluecoatscheesypoofs]

@ezallan There are not that many large capacity hybrid loaders and trucks on the market anyway!

[Wafflepudding]

I'll make sure to remember that next time I fill my gas tank with anthracite.

[studio7manga]

@Wafflepudding

You do know that liquefaction of coal into petrol is a decades old technology right?

[Wafflepudding]

@studio7manga So?

[studio7manga]

@ezallan

As someone that used to make mining equipment, (at least before the crash) THANKS!

[studio7manga]

@ezallan

Also, go card check, America needs it!

[nbond1986]

im all for the environment. but no extreme is good. we NEED this source of energy as well.

it's just like people who are anti war....i mean...we NEED war! but not to an extreme either.

so in short, no extreme is good. the "greenies" are just watching out for the quality of life that YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN will have. so to insult them is to be ignorant. but for them to ask for coal and gasoline to be abolished is also ignorant. we need a good and efficient middle ground.

[AVAMagneticlev]

You lost me when you said we need war is this what your told in school or is this your own idea.

When a little non extreem war comes to your town please let me if you still feel the same way as no one that has suffered war and the loose it brings could have this opinion.

The lasting effects of WW2 still effected a member of my family intil he died only 6 years ago and he was one of the lucky ones that got to die old.

[nbond1986]

@AVAMagneticlev

I never said war wasn't extreme. But without a little war, there is no intimidation, and without intimidation, nothing gets done, and the super powers of the world wouldn't be what they are. Unfortunately for us all, international politics is based on intimidation. It's at the heart of it all. I don't like war, and I wish it wouldn't happen, but unfortunately the world would be come more chaotic without it. Peace is not a law of nature.

[nbond1986]

@AVAMagneticlev

....and while we're at it (the character limit stopped me).....if you want to split hairs.....I have the Jewish Holocaust AND the Armenian Genocide in my family history. I understand that genocides are a horrible and unnecessary part of wars.....but please don't tell ME about lasting effects.

[masterevilalex01]

see this is the reason America can be energy independent. we are the Saudi Arabia of Coal and Natural Gas. the greenies need to shit the hell up and be part of a solution for energy Independence. there is a bill going through the House and Senate after the "health care" bill that T boon Pickens is pushing to help tap our natural gas reserves and reduce our dependence on OPEC by 50%

[robmanueb2]

Love coal it's so clean. It's so clean you can use it for soap, honest. Maybe us dirty hippies can use some of this clean coal to have a bath. No thanks I rather stink! Stink to high heaven and really annoy those super clean hard working miners. Come over here miners, stand next to me and inhale some hippy stench .

[petery53]

what do think is making the power to run your fucking computer dickhead,or powered the factory that made your computer or the desk your sitting at

you greenies really like to have it both ways don't you

[robmanueb2]

Thats the problem (we are using the coal). Yes us greenies want it both ways, clean + power. Wind power is viable and so is geothermal. Bring on some technology!

[snowbiker111]

dont need to... the 6 figures a year i make mining coal affords me the luxury of soap...

[MrKycoalminer]

robmanueb2- You are a fucking idiot! You don't like coal? Then get up off your fat ass and go put some fucking solar panels on your house! Until then quit bashing people coal and the coal miners! What do you do for a living robmanueb2?

[blardosplats]

They look like little yellow bugs.

[blardosplats]

Wait! They are.

[invermin1239]

google antimony mining in honduras for more pics

[woodyate]

If you think that shovel was big, wait till you see the size of that rake!

[pangipoo]

somebody PLEASE get me a job there. that shovel is huge

[robby844]

huge shovel where? the loader??? its the size of a 994.thats not that big.

[mageac]

well to all the environmentalists... i live near this mine... hell on calm days i can hear the engines.

this used to be an underground mine, which made huge sinkholes everywhere, it was dangerous to walk in that area let alone make anything useful out of of.

the mine is strip mining, and then filing it back in, then the ground will be solid and useable...

if you ask me its the best solution for the environment not killing it

[Wafflepudding]

So where are they impounding the tailings?

[Bennyboy46a]

What tailings? Its coal, the over burden is dumped back into a mined out part of the pit.

[zprice16]

there anit nothin lik a good ol dozer loader and lizard and a hoe and top of a mountain so fuck all of u tree hugers

[xaznhottiesx]

go green or die...literally. too many of you are thinking of the present, which is totally logical, but we got to think of the future too! think of the future generations! do you really want our children, grandchildren, etc. experiencing more natural disasters than ever predicted? don't hate on the environmentalists. they're only trying to help (although one can argue if they really are or not).

[kyladyrider]

this is not going to help the environment but only "pays off the big wigs"....it's all about the money....go ahead and think there will be less pollution (baaahhhh, baaahhhh)

[woodrum88]

WOW How is it that you know so much about how clean fossil fuel burns?

[kyladyrider]

I know the technology is there and I also know how politics fleece the sheep.

[RobbyL31]

Oh man your a real prize.lolYour a jackass.Your willing to take jobs away from men and women.Why don't complain about those big cities who make more garbage and pollution but oh no that wouldn't take away jobs now would it.Your a pitiful person who knows nothing at all.When you can come up with a better job source please bring it on.

[RobbyL31]

All you lazy environmentalists are no bathing fucking hippies. Coal is here for a reason, people smart enough to enginere the machines to mine it are here for a reason. You..... well all you're here for is to sponge off of the federal taxes that non-lazy hard working americans pay every week.

[BOBAMAMONKEY]

you area dumb nigger and sure to make more dumb niggers unfortunately.. stop spreading your inferior code, you dumb nigger.

[Snipedanwo]

Yawn, Piss up a rope dumbfuck! If your too blind to see 160,000 miners in 1985 ---> 20,000 today And You guys keep electing JD Rockefeller the IV While his evil eco-raping henchman Don Blankenship and a bunch of Australian globalist mine managers flatten your state ! The more of their bullshit you puke up The dumber you look So please , entertain us with some more of your ignorant rage , there , Tap Water Timmy Use solar/wind and STFU !

[studio7manga]

@rcmatty1

Well said. I used to work for Columbus Steel which made components for Bucyrus Power Shovel before the economy took a shit. Before that I worked for Schlumberger as an oil field service engineer. I loved the feeling that I was keeping the power on for the rest of the world. Of course it wouldn't bother me to be putting up windmills or solar panels in the future. Whatever is most economical!

[mac1ace1]

ah man i watched this video because i thought hot mime gurls were gonna come out and stripp

[scissorhands38]

LOL

[Matthew1776]

wow a small stretch of land is being utilized for the advancment of civilization. You idiot enviros are a product of the wealth of the west (which came form mining) without which your ignorant views would be completely different.

[eks56]

George Bush is leaving America just like he left Texas. Bankrupt and polluted.

[bennyspider1]

Don Blankenship Ceo of Massey Energy is a mountain raping coal licker

[4wheel4real]

Funny thing is we use to go 4wheelin right where this mine is and get kick off the land from the cops cause we were ditroying the land HAHAHAHAHAH Yes I use to live in Stellarton and played in the bullpen all the time.

[kendall9022]

40ft seam is not the taht thick. Large seams are in the order of 30m. A newly developed coal mine in australia has a seam thickness of 40m. This combined with the reverse fault at one end results in a seam >80m.

[sparwood8]

49 foot seam is the biggest in the world.

[sparwood8]

I like clearcut logging, Open Pit mining, and Spotted Owl Stew. Bear meat is good too. Flame away

[snowbiker111]

earth first... we can mine the other planets later...

[sparwood8]

Yeah, we should shut down all the mining operations. shut down coal operations, shut downthose smelly oil refineries. shut down logging, shut down anything that releases smoke or CO2. What do you think would happen if we did this.

Environmentalists need to work in the real world first

And Earth first is worshipping the creation, and as usch is a Pagaan practise. Worship the one who created it instead.

[MumbotheShaman]

I am currently studying to be a mining engineer and my family is all in the mining industry and I agree with you. Also here is a stat for you. To maintain our standard of living we need to mine 46,000 pounds of various materials per person. Another fact, if it can't be grown it must be mined. Get your facts before you say mining is bad.

[sparwood8]

I was being sarcastic. Mocking the tre hummgers. Look at my profile. See what I did for a living. My facts are good.While you are at it; check out Fordig Coal and Teck Cominco. Ticker Symbols are Fed.un.T, and Tck.B-T (Tse)

I'm looking for kettle rock. Can anyone help me?

[nmaramag]

panu isave ito???????????????????/

[cowbubbles]

no the thickest is 100 feet thinck its in midwest us

[spidermanuel98]

mining is helpful for the human existence, however, if mining would mean sacrificing the rights of those people living in the area and our inter-generational responsibility and right, it becomes evil.

we are rational being, that is why we tries to justify everything that seems beneficial for us, direct or indirect benefit. but have we ever consider those who are really affected with it? sometimes people does not realize that we are already imposing our idea of development to other people.

[cowbubbles]

shutup

[spidermanuel98]

why cowbubbles? did i said anything wrong that you could atleast correct?

[cowbubbles]

tree huger

[spidermanuel98]

i enjoy the breeze of a green environment as i enjoy using my electronic gadgets. Mining is not all bad... its just that everything has its own right place, right time and right people to do with... cowbubbles, i bet you also want to take your long vacation break with a cool relaxing breeze of the ocean and the nice view of an island. rather than spending your time in a dead lands of a mining site..

[cowbubbles]

but i really enjoy runing my trackhoe all day i like the beach tho dont get me wrong

[sparwood8]

Dead lands of a mining site? Hey take a peek at Elkford BC and Logan Lake, near Highland Valley Copper (teck cominco)

You are un-informed

[abominableangel]

couldnt agree more

[mohammadali298]

ant osam bhen ji chod video ahe hehehe

[TubeGuest5178]

look this up British Nuclear Fuels or BNFL

is the parent company of GE and Westinghouse.

There's only 4 corporations that run the whole USA. They are GE, WESTingHOUSE, Disney and Time/Warner. They own all the networks, all the magazines, all the newspapers, all of them even the porno mags..(lol!)They own everything and guess who owns Disney, GE WestingHouse and Time/Warner ----QUEEN ELIZABETH, II and her lil grandsons will run the US once she dies.

[TubeGuest5178]

Revelations 18:11 speaks of God is going to ruin those who RUIN THE EARTH....>I can't wait.

[rbellar]

so ya'll don't like strip mining, but do you like having electricty?

[TubeGuest5178]

electricity comes from Britain. They pull the plug and strip mining is not gonna save us. Look it up rbellar. BFNL owns GE and Westinghouse here in the US. BFNL is a British Electricity, Nuclear and other fuel mega-corporation. If the US does not pay the bill BRITAIN CAN PULL THE PLUG whenever they please. Queen Elizabeth still owns the USA.....

[rbellar]

well thanks for the history lesson that can now help me do my job that much better!

[sleds12]

*lispy libral voice* save the dolpins!!!

[pcenigga]

How dare they stip mine!!!They kill the gorillas habitats!!STUPID STRIP MINERS!!

[JinHowHen]

The only Gorillas around here are operating the machinery:)

[Perryman1647]

@JinHowHen Why don't you go to the congo and protest the cutting of the gorilla habitat...no because you would get your ass shot off. So Coal keeps the lights on, and protesters should be run out of the state and off the property.

[Nippersfolkz]

If they didn't mine, you wouldn't be on your computer watching this video. Ask yourself if you really care about gorillas.

[DRPLAS]

not only would you not be watching this video but the world would stop if there were no mines. everything comes from some sort of mine.

[rngrchad]

@pcenigga

LMFAO, your hilarous! Awesome comment. (I'm a friend of coal)

[cuttindr07]

Plenty of room here for some safety improvements!!!

[MaryMagpie]

If you cant farm it, you have to mine it, it's that simple, Humans are consumers,it's what we do best,from my perspective those who clame save the earth, ar hippo-crits, and forget, how much they consume, as they type on thier PC, which is probly one of the most toxic unfriendly things made. and those murcury eviro lights, as they write a mean letter off to those lead paint manufactures.

[soerli95]

very cool!!!

[esseginski]

Every single thing you use is either mined or grown. Know this and know this well before making ignorant comments..

[polihelen9]

Mining is fun. U get to use huge vehicles to crush, dig and destroy. There's where money comes too.

[1066D]

Ya know. Not for nothing but being in that cab for 8 hrs....nevermind the 16 hour shift when your bud decides to call in is a long haul. Your kidneys hurt and the porto-let is miles away. The noise will make your ears ring at night when all is silent. Now I'm a Project Manager. The only noise is a loud fax machine and a telephone that rings only when I take the first bite out of my sandwich. My glory days were in the cab...Now I just push paper.

[gusroxburgh]

Great footage this buggar would be worth a lot! where would we be with out mining?

[endri03]

I dont work in the mining industry but one after I graduate I plan to go into mining, people are somewhat arrogant to the point that minerals are essential to our way of life, its not just metals we mine but loads of other minerals too. Sure there are some companies that may take advantage of the environment, but look as nuclear power etc.

[chaminda123]

No mining no cars no nothing.....anything made from metal is gone.....

[min707]

I'm a mining and civil engineer and have worked in the mining industry. After reading half these comments i think its fair to say if you have no idea about mining don't act so ignorant and post comments. How about researching the topic first before making a d*ck out of yourself. Mining is needed, otherwise you post me a note when you figure out how to obtain resources another way. And besides, for all you environmentally friendly freaks, these areas are regenerated afterwards.

[andygumper]

How do you regenerate a mountain? A creek?

Oh yes by spraying on Hydroseed and grow some green stuff and off to destroy another mountain, Reclaimation is a joke ! Been there and seen it with my own eyes.

[alexcameron321]

i'm from around there so if anyone doesn't like then #@!$ you

[tcmitton]

Buddy, Unless your living in some 2 goat village in Africa, you got to see see YOUR whats driving this reaping/raping. Worse, billions of 'ones' like you guilty of making what this 'evil' part or world with gluttiny, excess arrogant ways

[tcmitton]

Man i don't get on here much, used to buttons more spread out. My typing sucks. Here'ss what I meant:

"Worse, billions of 'ones' like you are who's making this 'evil' a part of or world with gluttiny,(sp) excess, and arrogant ways."

btw Im not excluding myslef from the problem. We need to stop insatuable life stle before we can stop the jobs demanded to fullfill it

[JinHowHen]

Hey mitton, I don't own the mine...I don't even work there. I just shot the video.

[tcmitton]

Sorry I was try to reply to the one who said this was wrong. You seem intrested in it. I never saw this type of mining but it looks like the same process we used to haul gravel for highway construction after is been pulverized with ground explosives

[tcmitton]

I all for this stuff. Some of these guys top of some pritty fat checks with the Insanely high comodity bonuses thier making.

Actually I know two guys just receantly 'common core' certified and making a  nice $65 per/h bonifide hauling Urianium near Sudbury. That Town is called 'Reapsville' in Ontario

[tcmitton]

Suppose to read: "Im giving all' and "hauling Urainum(north of Yellow knife), and mining NICKEL near Sudbury.

Those where some of the most luctractive hauls Ive seen people land when networked through NORCAT's agency.)

[australiacanada]

I work at mine in canada its good money

[craigercj]

40 ft thickest in the world? Pfffffttt.. come to Wyoming and I'll show you truly thick seams and big equipment, 1850's, P&H 4100XPBs and 797's. J/K. Cool video, interesting method of stripping. Doze to loader, portable hopper/crusher/conveyor to spoils. What kind of production and cost per ton do they get with that? That truck really wasted some production time dumping that waste coal where he did...

[snowbiker111]

what kinda money you guys making down there?( just wondering were coming into contract time...lol)
