what can we do to stop these people from blowing up the mountains?
-
No, actually, if you blast and remove a mountain top, you ruin any chance of producing electricity there. Windmills need lots of WIND which found at the highest elevations. Oh, amen to living without power though. I'll live on a mountain with clean running mountain streams, clean air, and good soil, and you can live on a moonscape with your electricity. Hmmm.....let's see who lasts longer.

No one can replace nor rebuild those beautiful mountains once they are destroyed.

@grandmachristine42 Some of the places with the highest child death rates actually don't have much to any electricity, see, e.g. some African countries.

Amen to NothingSerious. You can live a better life without electricity than you can live in a poisoned environment full of cool little gadgets and dying children.

I am all for developing other forms of energy...but we can't shut down our nation's power, and put tens of thousands of miners out of work on good ideas. Develope the technology, test it, put it to work, and see if it meets our energy requirements...Then, and only then, do you pull the plug on the energy in place, now. You do have some good ideas...but ideas won't power this country. Get-R-Done...then, we'll talk about shutting down the mines.

There are other sources of power besides coal. The sun generates so much power that there is not enough matter in the solar system to build a device to collect it all!!! Our moon has been collecting an element from the solar wind called H3 for billions of years. If you use this to make fuel rods for atomic reactors there is less radioactivity than most medical x-rays. We can create more jobs trying to harness these power sources than trying to preserve a few jobs that destroy the earth.

would you mind if I stuck this clip in a benny hill-like video I might make...MTR is an absolute abomination, but the benny hill song might lighten up the mood

Let's just shut down mountaintop removal, and put in windmills......wait a minute....Don't we have to "blast and remove the mountaintop" to install those?....Oh hell, let's just live without power...we don't really need heat or lights, or running water in this country, do we? lol

Mountaintop removal is disturbing in ways I can't even express. We will all suffer the consequences of these kinds of acts by big business.

Who cares about electricity? You can have your damn electricity if you'll give me back my mountains!
