Mountain removal is not as bad as what everybody would have you to believe. Please tell me,if you stop this type of mining what will become of all the people will be out of a job? What will happen to the children they have? Do any of you have a job for them that pay as much? Mountain top mining would seem a lot safer to me than nuclear. From what I have read and heard about nuclear energy I would definitely not want to live near that. I live just miles away from mountain top removal mines, it doesn’t bother me whatsoever…

Solar energy won’t do it, it’s not efficient enough. Wind power requires 100’s of acres to generate the same amount of electricity as a small coal-fired plant. I bet you’re also against nuclear energy as well?

My grandfather ran the largest shovel in the eastern United States for most of his career. I suppose you’d call him an evil man for destroying the mountains in Schuylkill County, PA?
