This is too much. Don Blankenship and Massey Energy are the poster
children for mountaintop removal. They not only wreck the planet by
selling the coal they mine to be burned, but wreck Appalachian
communities and landscape in extracting it. It’s a pretty horrible
process and this guy labels us as the crazy ones?
My favorite line in this article is “The greeniacs are taking over the world.”
I spent
the past couple of days talking with a longtime movement friend of mine
who has been organizing civil disobedience and mass mobilizations since
The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has approved Massey Energy’s revision of one of the mountaintop removal coal mining permits for Coal River Mountain.
That means Massey may begin blasting at any time.
