Goldcorp is doing the same open-pit mining here in Mexico. So sad.

@lilchico4wg Its not a matter of whether or not it will run out or not... its a matter of what can sustain the current rate at which we consume energy... If you plan on using all your electrically powered devices, you can count on not leaving coal behind... Either that or we can litter every square inch of land with wind turbines, tearing down trees, and spending gazillions more than we would with just using coal. Wind and solar panels are good for science experiments and calculators. Coal FTW..

@laugher04 Do you need to live in a tent to live without electricity? And is an economy more importnat than an ecosystem? But ya know i don't think WV or Las Vegas are going to change willingly you are right about that. Only when it's too late or disaster hits will things change

@CrazyChitTV And the Titanic was expected not to sink... try and think about the generations to come and not just right now. What will life be like for thos during that later time? Why hate dirty hippies when you like dirty coal?

When someone has an entirely new economy scheme for the coal fields, a.k.a. West Virginia. Then I would get serious about the negative effects of mining....Until then, stop hating on miners, and their jobs so much.

@lilchico4wg Yeah, I really need to get used to living in my tent. I'm assuming of course "luxuries" means electricity, and the billions of dollars coal generate that is WVs economy....Gambling isn't too good for people, but I don't see Nevada shutting down Vegas anytime soon.

@CrazyChitTV Don't know where you get your "stats" from...but I loved it...hahaha "5414"= good stuff.
coal is good. it gives people lung disease and cancer. it pollutes the air and water. it powers all of those noisy flashy things that we sit in front of to get fat. what's the big damn deal. oh yeah and who cares about great mountain scenery. listening to michael jackson on my ipod is worth permanently damaging the landscape so that some asshole that contributes to political campaigns that don't represent me can get rich. oh yeah and without coal, what would santa give bad kids.

autumn olive, Ailanthus (both invasive spp.), virginia pine, dogwood...yeah, that's wonderful reforestation work. But it's the degraded ground and surface water that is the worst problem...that and the lies about it.
