THIS IS STRIP MINING ON STEROIDS. OVER 477 MOUNTAINS HAVE BEEN "REMOVED" IN WEST VIRGINIA OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. ALL FOR THE SHORT TERM DEMAND FOR COAL.
Episode 13 of RED STATE ROAD TRIP www.redstateroadtrip.com
My heart goes out to Larry and the entire Appalachian area. This is a horrific tragedy, and we need to stop the coal companies from destroying our precious forests and mountains.
I'll never forget the first time I drove through Leadville Colorado in the 70's. I came a round the bend and there in the midst of 14,000+ foot mountains was a big flat space the size of a small city. Flat where a 14,000 ft mountain use to be.

I would rather remove a mountaintop than work in a cave.

Can you believe that Larry Gibson can be charged as a domestic terrorist! It's OK though, we'll all be getting another rebate check.
