You don't understand. Coal KILLS PEOPLE. If there is a way to provide stable energy rather than blowing up mountains and killing people and the world around them, then don't argue with it.
And when all the coal from those mines has been mined, then...what?...move to more mountains and destroy that area as well?
Why stay ignorant? Support wind/solar/geothermal. Invest long term, and listen to the people. You think you know anything whatsoever? Why don't you go visit Coal River Mountain...
Does your house have wood, cement, brick, vinyle siding? All these things are polluting at some time in the process of making them. I admire your passion but disagree with your logic and I dont think you've thought about the future of WV.
Using your logic I could conclude that solar panels are bad because metal and silica has to be mined to make them. Wind power has the same problem. Come on be honest what is your reaal problem? Do you have a beef with Massey? The residue captured will be put back in the earth where it came from. If children are going to school near such a site why dont they move the scool?
I agree that mountain top removal may not be the best way to get coal but most coal is still mined. If we do away with coal our economy will suffer horribly. WV is the 3rd poorest state in the US and clean coal is the only way we can survive. Who will fund our schools? Who will give the assistance to make up for the loss of tax revenue? Poor West Virginians, thats who. Pollution is a bad thing but some pollution is enevitable. Even cow farts send methane in the air.
i made an invention that i call the clean coal solution it does not allow any smoke or soot to leave power plants or smoke stacks it also recycles the smoke and soot back into reusable fuel check out some of my videos
