Harnessing Coal River Wind in Appalachia

[marthad9]

Thanks for the wonderful video. We should all show this to our Senators and Congresspeople and insist that they support the Clean Water Protection Act (House Bill) and the Appalacian Restoration Act (Senate). Blowing up mountains for coal is a sin!

I took 14 people to hike Coal River Mountain and meet Lorelei in May. Coal River Mountain is so alive. Mountain Top Removal is Mutilation and an abuse of what God has give us to use.

SAVE COAL RIVER MOUNTAIN! Massey Energy has already began blasting away this mountain. Help us in Appalachia end the fascist Coal Industry's regime. COAL RIVER WIND NOW!

Google "coal river wind" or "coal river mountain watch" to find out how you can lend your voice to save Coal River Mountain and erect the Wind Farm. Hurry, time is of the essence!

This one won't load. I live in Appalachia and I really want to see it.

LOL 3:11 those people have diarrhea coming out of their sink!

[SnorklinWithCudas]

Windmills are great!

[Razortine]

im from philly. this is awesome. please dont let them do this to your/OUR land. i hope you guys can win the fight.

Wow, very impressive. Great job to all the folks at Appalachian Voices, Coal River Mountain Watch and Google who invested hours and hours of time to create this amazing video. The blast footage video embedded within the larger video, both with stop, start and pause features is particularly impressive from a technical, programming aspect. You broke new ground here, congrats. Geeks rule, particularly environmentally conscience geek. Hats off to everyone who worked on the project. Rock stars, all.

Hipocrisy:

Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. We havent got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand, she says. Were having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.

[Simoncopland1]

Lorelei;

Thank you. This is a very inspiring video and some great work you are doing! Well done!

Please let us know exactly what can be done to support this project and defeat the coal proposal in your region.

way to go girl. maybe people will wake up when they see this.

[merangreen]

This is very well put together (I think someone else said this as well) and obviously has been well thought through. I live near Appalachia and went to school in it, and have a deep and profound love for the place and its people. I think this is a wonderful idea, and I'll do what I can to spread the word!

I Support Mountain Top Removal

[katartimus]

please post this video wherever you can so we can get as many people to be aware of this situation. thanks.

[Jeramiedreyfuss]

This is great. I live in Idaho now but grew up in West by God Virginia. Way to go.

If they build the wind farm and also do some deep shaft coal mining..once the mines are empty, they could house either large large scale back up batteries or use the mine shafts as large compressed air chambers to run back up pneumatic turbines on demand so that they would be able store the excess energy during off peak hours and match output to live demand. That would maximize the energy output to its full potential. Best of luck on this.

[jeniandbilly]

This is very well put together and everyone involved in creating this video deserves praise. It's wonderful to see the images. They make a significant impact on our understanding of the two energy options. Well done!

I support Coal River Wind.

[knewitallthetime]

I don't live near any significant mountains, but these people have earned my unqualified support for such an excellent, economically viable, "best use" of this land. We need to support these folks NOW!!!

I am sick to death of the ignorance that passes for so-called business decisions. Instead of Tea Parties we should be having "green earth parties. This presentation proves that real, sustainable alternatives exist. Don't be fooled by the money crowd.
