Anyone who wonders what Occupy Wallstreet is about...This IS it. It's not that they don't know what they're protesting, it's because their causes are SO many.
But it's all summed up in this, A Government that's bought and sold out to big industry who doesn't give a shit about anyone, or anything but profits.
Assholes.

yeah only about 7% of electricity is made from hydo-electric dams, which by the way the EPA makes it nearly impossible to build through permit and building restriction. can't have your cake and eat it too.
@Wv24985--I live in the Appy mtns of TN--you may have clean air where you mine because the bad air flows DOWN the mtns & into the valley(its basic science!)
Your form of mining does no harm? The claims are exxagerated?? Oh so I suppose the GIANT sludge flood here in TN was just a figment or our imaginations???!!!! GET REAL!

It has been said, "If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem." "Mountainlife", I think we've found your problem.
"WV24985"...you're it.
I'm proud to be a part of this video and book. Thank you PlunderingAppalachia.
