I work in the coal industry and I’m telling you right now that if Obama passes all the laws that he says he is going to pass, well, they can kiss the economy of KY goodbye! I’ve said all along that Obama was going to be the downfall of this country and he is proving me right!!! People need to open their eyes and stop believing people like Ashley Judd, has she ever been on top of one of our mountains that have been completed? Doubtful! If she has then she would definetely say that it is beautiful and usable land!!! She needs to stay in Hollywood! No, she ain’t worth nothing there either…

AMEN!!! The land after it is finished is beautiful usable land for wildlife as well as farm animals to roam on. All these people are trying to do is make a name for themselves…well I have a name for them, how about —holes who dont know what the heck they are talking about!

What will the families of the surface miners do if they end mountain top removal? What about the maintenace workers for the equipment? What will we do when we run out of room to grow? What will happen to our economy? Mountain top removal may be dirty and nasty while the project is going on but afterwards they leave habital land for housing and businesses. Isn’t that what we want? More businesses to come in. They families will starve or turn to other means of raising money. Say for instance, selling drugs. Put men out of work and more drugs on the streets. That sounds like a spectacular idea to me. People need to think of both sides before trying to ruin peoples lives in which case environmentalist are doing.
