Coal Country Trailer

Don't be fooled by this propaganda. Ask the local Chamber of Commerce, County Court Judges, Tourism offices, local political leaders in the central appalachian area were MTR is being conducted and you will see that they are overwhelming for that type of mining. We the majority of non-coal mining residents are for mountain top development just as most residents around the world are pro development. You can always find people in any community that are against any type land development.

We should learn a couple of things from this, first check your deed to see who owns the mineral rights to you property. and next, how about considering Nuclear energy? or is that nucular?

all those for shifting that work and those jobs to clean energy, raise your hands

how anyone can support or defend mountain-top removal is beyond me, without solely being for the money.

I use to live down the street from the Coal River... It was the nastiest, greenest water Ive ever seen. Its a shame, because the mountains around it are so beautiful.

You still need raw materials for chemical feedstock for basically everything in modern society. Even if all of our energy came from inexhaustible magical boxes with 480V 3 phase outlets that fell from the sky, we'd still need petrochemical feed stocks, at least until someone figured out and scaled up Thermal Depolymerization and similar technologies.

There's no reason why coal can't be used for the same damn organics, granted we put attention into carbon sequestration.

Note - I am COMPLETELY FOR our country pursuing clean energy sources - like wind and solar.. and getting away from fossil fuels

ok... how can she say " I just want them to go away - so sI can have my home back".. when at the beginning she says that coal was discovered there in 1745?! The coal mining was there LOOOONNGG before she moved there..
I'm not saying I'm for the type on coal mining they are doing there - or not. But.. I hope before people go get up on their soap boxes agains it - they make sure they are not using anything in their daily lives that comes from the usage of coal burning energy sources.
