Judy Bonds speaks at the Coal River Mountain Rally at the DEP in Kanawha City, WV, Dec. 7 2009. During her speech, 2 coal trucks that kept passing back and forth tried to interrupt her speach by blairing their horns. You will hear in the video. They did it several times during others' speeches, however, Judy doesnt let them get away with it. Gotta love her!

  • READERS: Below you will find yet more examples of the threats of violence and death. The Matewan War in wich they are refering to is when true miners faught for the unionization against coal industry oppression. Oppression that is now taking place today by the coal industry against the civilan. Again, they talk about their "babies" not having food, but where will their babies be when the land is uninhabitable and the coal is gone? Who will their babies blame then?

  • PROPAGANDA ALERT:

    Again, below, they want you to take their word at face value. I, however, request that if you want to know what MTR looks like, take a look at some of the link I have posted in my "more info" sections. The best view is from the air however. I, myself, had no clue of the scale of destruction until I seen it from a few thousand feet in the air. They do not want you to see it this way because they know many would most likey be disgusted as well.

  • Also, I would like to add that none have bothered to address the issue that the USGS has predicted there is only about 20 yrs worth of mineable coal. What will they do if/when that prediction comes true. If WV is so dependent on coal, then do we not need to start hunting other avenues before that 20 yr limit happens?

  • PRO-COAL PROPAGANDA ALERT:

    The following statements are what the coal industry want you to believe. Again they try to keep us in fear, fear that we cannot live without coal. If one wants to keep people or a region under their control, you use fear. And, what is another word for fear, but alas, TERROR. Simply put, again, we dont know that we cant live without the coal industry's tyranny because we've never tried, and they want it that way. Without the fear, they have no power over us.

  • You people come to our job sites and knock us out of pay! They send us home because it takes so goddamn long to get you fuckers unchained from our equipment and out of the trees. You cost us money, that is why we refer to you all as terrorists!!!! While you all are recieving your government checks every month, we HAVE to work to recieve pay!

  • You know, they say GREED is the root of all evil. Seems all they care about is the money, money, money.

    P.S. I work for a living, as I have stated before, and I get my paycheck without raping the land.

  • Hey birdbrain said it... wind power has to piggyback off of coal to make itself look good.also I read that 2 wind turbines in their lifetime eleminate enough co2 for 1 trip on a jet liner.  ummmm not very good and expensive

  • Denmark, which has the highest percentage of wind-produced electricity in the world, also has electricity prices nearly 100% higher than those of Britain, France, Spain etc. This, in addition to problems to do with the unreliability of wind, grid management, and a lack of reduction in CO2 emissions, prompted the Danes to overhaul their windpower policy.

  • Cardinalsbol: Have faith!! You're doing a great job(and you can spell as well !) These

    people(or person) who are so rude, must not have anything better to do than be hateful.....

    it's just a waste of energy that could be better spent working to help rather than destroy...

    they probably don't know any other way but to yell and holler(their family life sucked-I bet) Oh well, as the song goes,'you've got to be carefully taught..'. Thank you, for keepin on keepin on...

  • Thank you Judy! You have touched my heart

    and I hear and understand! Thank you cardinal, as well-I can see through the bs of ignorance below-that's how it works, the terror game-we are so busy fighting terrorists overseas, we overlooked the ones in our own back yards-the ignorant and stupid bullies at home...NO MORE!

  • And what i say is for my children also.. you take my fuckin job from me and take food from every coal miners babys and famliys there will be hell to pay...

  • ever watch the movie mist where the church lady gets all these people beliveing in shit and they try and kill those people well if that women dont shut th fuck up thats whats going to happen to her like the women on the mist movie they kill her... unless you people want to bring back matewan war we will be waiting.. better have your guns loaded..

  • READERS: MTR is not as bad as they make it to be! The whole mountain top is not put in a valley fill!!! It is put back to an approximate contour minus the height for the coal seams which isn't that much! MTR is used because they cannot safely mine it from an underground standpoint! Wind farm electricity is ALOT higher priced than coal -fired electricity. Solar doesn't charge in the night time or cloudy times, and hydro relies on no droughts and not very much boat traffic!
