Coal is not the only way to keep the lights on, and MTR coal is only a small fraction of coal mined in the US. MTR coal employs fewer people per ton mined than any other kind of coal. So consumers dont need MTR coal and its a wonder that coal miners fight for it. It is in the interests of coal miners to join the fight against MTR if they want coal jobs in the future.
Ya know, from the moisture content of this mud, and how its laying, I'm not sure that the mining company did this.... I think it is a mudslide, but that's just my opinion. Usually when a company does this, they make water breaks so the water won't stand behind the barrier, as it does in this video. Just my opinion though!
i think people need to get a life. 1 1/2 years ago you could not even tell there was a gravy yard there. i know because i'm from the same hollow these people leave up. now i guess they think they are going to get some money or something out of this. i'm a coal miner myself (underground), and i might not be a big fan of MTR but im not going to try to stop it. PROVE YOUR AGAINST MOUNTAIN TOP REMOVAL TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF!!!!!!
