Toxic West Virginia: Mountaintop Removal- Episode 1

The statements used by the coal barons are so devoid of any humanity that it seems they are being used by a greedy robot, and we are SICK of the buzzword "JOBS" as justification for the destruction of our natural environment.
If blame is to be put anywhere- It must be on Massey and it's mindless thugs.

I love to look at the mountains. I also like to be able to turn the light switch on without making a choice between light or food. God knows the people of WV need jobs. Do they ever! We also need affordable energy. I feel that all fossil fuel is too valuable to burn. There are too many uses for it. 500 years from now the burning of fossil fuel will be viewed as one of the biggest mistakes of mankind. That is then and this is now. We need cheap alternative fuels and they aren't there now.

Somebody is always sticking there nose in someone else business. take care of your own house and stay the hell out of the hills and we all will get along you tree hugging SOB. Coal miner use a little lead and watch them run

Poor Clay & Hippieslayer

They are the "niggers" if one must use such a filthy word. Total slaves to "the boss man." Hey one can understand totally being adverse to having their jobs at risk - on the other hand, if child molestation were the only good paying job in WV, would it not be the right of others to try to put a stop to it??? Think about guys? Stop being so hateful and ignorant! Pray to Jesus for forgiveness for being so hateful.

yup just a dumb nigger hippie too lazy to pick up a shovel and mine himself but he sure dont mind turning his switch on for power or heat in his cozie little urban home!! useless fuck

You want to talk about toxic, lets build a nuclear plant so they can bury that waste underground and hope it doesn't leak for 100,000 years or so. Also, stop surface mining, see how long it takes before you find out your wrong. POOR HIPPIES

Remember that song by John Denver...Almost Level, West Virginia!

LOOKS LIKE JUST ANOTHER NIGGER

omg they make mining look so bad i live not a mile from a mine i no what it looks like befor and after they do a good job and give us jobs so stop

people wake up when you destroy the permitting process for surface mines you also take out deep mines and then the whole industry depends on china
