On Monday, February 16 2009, at about 11am, two members of Climate Ground Zero were arrested for interfering with MTR blasting on the Massey Energy-owned Edwhite mountain top removal site near the Shumate Dam on Cherry Pond Mountain. The Shumate dam holds back 2.8 billion gallons of toxic sludge, the waste by-product of chemically cleaning coal, and sits above the Marsh Fork elementary school.
This is thir job. It is a full time job with double time. They do it because mountain top removal is just no good. Earth needs mountains and trees more than miners need their tvs and rvs.. Mountain making takes millions of years and gets destroyed by greedy miners and mining users. People can and should find energy sources that sustain the Earth.

actually yes i am quite sure they realized that coal is used for everyday life. in fact i am also quite sure they also have jobs.... so therefore, im even willing to ask, do YOU know what ur talking about? they are protesting coal in an effort to stop the pollution by companies such as massey energy. research a topic before you comment. (btw i completely understand that u would like to support your husbands job. but protesting for better cleanup of these acts is a noble cause, i promise)

It's really sad to see people who do not operate with any thought processes, but are simply sheople and don't understand what it means to actually WORK for a living. Turn your lights off and spend a winter without electricity.
