Protesters Arrested at Mountaintop Removal Site

[0rganDon0r]

What about carbon ash is toxic...?

[Jemalacane]

@0rganDon0r Carbon ash contains arsenic and mercury.

[0rganDon0r]

@Jemalacane Trace amounts at best.

[0rganDon0r]

@Jemalacane The amount of arsenic needed to kill a person is hardly a trace amount.

[Jemalacane]

@0rganDon0r Okay. But polluting water with cadmium, mercury and arsenic is still nasty.

[0rganDon0r]

@Jemalacane "Polluting" the water with naturally occurring environmental substances? Please, show me an EPA report where these substances are shown to be a threat anywhere in the anthracite coal region of West Virginia.

[Jemalacane]

@0rganDon0r Since when in hell are cadmium, arsenic or mercury healthy at any levels? Just because something occurs naturally doesn't mean it can't hurt a person! Yes, cadmium, mercury and arsenic are poisonous! Arsenic was a component of insecticides, pesticides and herbicides.

[0rganDon0r]

@Jemalacane Good, then you have accepted the impossibility of keeping the substances out of the human body since they are naturally occurring.

That you for your courage. Mountain top removal OPERATIONS MUST BE HALTED at all costs.

We don't need their oil or energy anymore.

[lessmith412]

all you enviromentalists are real smart the excavator you have captured is actually a machine used to reclaim the mine site so if you don't love wv move to california and enjoy all the wildfires and the gays

[xupd48tb1]

They never claimed to be smart.... Go after a loader or rock truck not an excavator lol

[Katesghost]

My God! When will this stop!! The governor of WV. should be impeached for allowing this poisoning of WV to contine for the sake of the greed of the coal companies! This is a form of genocide, and needs to be halted as soon as possible. It sickens me that this is going on in our country. People need to stand up and raise your voices in outrage!!

[marcusvwvuspa]

This mountain top removal will never stop - unfortunately! The citizens of WV have let this go on for so long now, I don't think we can stop it. I'd love nothing better then to see Don Blankenship personally escorted out of this state by every treehugger and told to never come back. There's a certain place in hell for people like Donny boy, and I hope the heat is fueled by the very coal he kills our mountains to get.

[lessmith412]

i bet you are not even from this state so go to ca

[rayofminneapolis]

It's getting personal now. HEY GOVERNOR JOE. We know you.

"Joe Manchins daughter makes $3 million a year working for an out-of-state drug company. Not long ago, a newspaper found out shes been lying for 10 years about having a masters degree. Joe Manchins buddy Mike Garrison — Manchins handpicked president of WVU — covered it up.

They faked a masters degree for Joe Manchins daughter. Investigators found that theyd made up grades to give Manchins daughter a degree she never earned.
