The Chuitna River was named as one of America's Most Endangered Rivers of 2007. Learn more: http://www.americanrivers.org/endangeredrivers

*Summary*
A massive, proposed coal strip mine threatens Alaska's pristine Chuitna River, which produces some of the state's largest chinook (king) salmon. Unless state and federal agencies reject permits for the project, the proposed mine will destroy this wild river's surrounding watershed and dump billions of gallons of mining waste into rich fisheries habitat annually. Beyond the obvious impacts of this huge mine, state and federal agencies should also consider the impacts of more mercury in Alaskan fish, and the effects of more greenhouse gases on the "poster state" for global warming.

  • thnx for givin me palins email =)

  • Sarah Palin the Cruel Queen of Alaska.

  • lol, trout n salmon.

  • Propose we burn salmon for heat and electricity.

  • yep. anything narrated by a kid or somebody sounding like a young kid will most likely be extremely biased propaganda. using kids for emotional impact rather than letting data or facts speak for itself.

  • This video contains inaccurate and mis-leading information. People who view this video should inform themselves on the project, and coal mining in general, before accepting the views promoted in this self-serving and bias video. It is sad that you had to manipulate a child to create this video.

  • thank you Joanna for the link and the riminder on this important issue of protecting alaskans from outside purveyors of coal and the effect of extraction and burning has on are health and lifestyle. sign the petition! curb the appetite of coal
