"Ashley Judd makes a living removing her top, why can't coal miners?"

-Because, It's like giving mother earth a mastectomy without her having breast cancer...

@srwilliamz Our lights were workingjust fine before the advent of mountaintop removal. Get a clue.

im so sick of people defending coal by saying "50.2 percent of your electricity comes from coal"

its basically like saying this...........if 50.2 percent of NAZI GERMANYS lights are powered by the burning of JEWS its ok because its more then half of the electricity???

thats some messed up logic if you ask me its asking you to ignore that its wrong and that their are other ways of extracting the coal (deep mining) and just accept that its 50% of your energy rather then push for that to change.

@ThePointinDog we dont have to give it up we can just get rid of the coal and the people lobbying to prevent other energy sources..... ie the coal companies

this would clear the way for alternatives to coal. even gas fracking is better then coal.

@ThePointinDog Thats only a job that Chuck Norris can do:D

Ok Sierra Club if you want mountain top coal mining to quit then you better give up the internet ads, mountaintop mines produce half of the power made by coal...

[ThePointinDog]

@jeffor13 If coal is evil, you just used it to post on the internet, dumbass

[ThePointinDog]

@jeffor13 Yeah, it was powered by underground mining.

@frankodelic Give me a rag and some windex and I'll polish coal until it turns into diamonds!

[ThePointinDog]

@stuntcat666 Without coal half of the power in the U.S. would be out, and this video wouldn't have been recorded......I hope you freeze to death when the wind stops blowing.
