Mountaintop Mining: Coal Baron Debates a Kennedy
Monday, February 8th, 2010
This blog post takes its title from a recent ABC report on a debate between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Don Blankenship.
No matter who you think “WON” the debate, it was a great opportunity for mountaintop removal opponents and supporters to get together in the same room. There were no fights, name calling, and little vocalization in the debate room itself. Everyone was respectful of their long time adversaries… we were certainly impressed.
You should check out the commentary by the Appalachian Voice newspaper, and visit the University of Charleston’s official event page for video and audio of the event. They also have a roundup of radio and print articles.
