I am so sorry, and I am working against mountaintop removal with calls and letters and petitions and conversations. Luckily there are many more like me. Maybe we’re making progress. I wish you the best, in surviving first, and then getting help to restore your life after we have won.

I am so sorry to hear that my electrical company deals with companies that do Mountain Top Removal. I am even more sorry that it took another power company, Old Dominion Electrical Cooperative (ODEC) wanting to build a 1,500MW coal fired baseload coal plant in our tiny town of Dendron, VA (little over 300 souls) where every home in the town of Dendron will be in the ‘stack shadow’ and Surry County schools will be 3 miles from the coal plant before I found out about Mountain Top Removal and what these coal companies are doing to the wonderful mountains that my hubby and I have been camping and hiking in for many years and the people who live there. I have been making sure people know about MTR and the proposed ODEC plant on my blog (BambisMusings.WordPress.com). Our problems may be at opposite ends of the coal spectrum but they are intrinsically laced together.

I typed in a zip code of where I use to live in Norfolk VA and discovered that its coal came from where I live in Island Creek now. It totally made me cry and hurt my heart.

Not that anyone opposed to this needs more motivation, but to know that switching your light on effects for folks like Brenda.
