Mountains/valley systems are important for streams/water systems. Even though trees will grow on the land again, the depressions and mountains caused by glaciers during the ice age wont just spring up again. He past old mines created using the old system of mining.

MTR is horrible. But there is an alternative. See the grassroots project being developed for Coal River Mountain. A wind farm on top of the mountain! We should help them get it going. No destruction; free air!

Don't say a word? Forget about it - if you think we're going to shut up you can take that and stick it where the sun don't shine. Most of my extended family lives in WV, both of my grandfathers were coal miners and although I did not grow up in the area, I will continue to fight for my heritage and for my family who has to deal with the hazards of this type of mining. I will never stop, not until the practice has ended.

I worked for 16 years in the Mine mentioned in the Paint Creek watershed. It was approx. 2900 in elevation we took off 900 feet. You see the Landscape before it is reclaimed. The property was useless the Company spent 4 million Dollars to build 1 access road 3 laneto the top. The Paint Creek Watershed whilewe were working stocked trout in Paint Creek2 additional roads were built later. A Park was built for the Public by the Coal Company.

OK I finally found it, activist groups involved with this are: Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Ohio Valley Enviromental Coalition, and the West Virginia Highlands. |
