This makes me sick at heart. It seems that greed trumps everything else in our society and the only protections available are for the rich and powerful. Those of us that are neither are helpless. This world, which was truly a heaven on earth is being systematically turned into a living hell. Where do these people live that they think they will never have to pay a price. Nature cannot be raped and pillaged forever with impunity.

I lived in williamson WVa for several years in the 1960’s. I thought strip mining was bad then. I’m sorry to say the situation has worsened considerably. My best wishes to you all. I’ll spread the word. But of course the same miners or their business associates are doing some of the same sort of things in BC’s Rockies.
