EPA Deems 42 of 48 Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining Permits “Environmentally Responsible”

Ever hear about “hope” and “change?”

Remember we had this guy that ran on that rhetoric last year and got elected to the presidency.

As residents of West Virginia and Kentucky are digging themselves out of dirty muck from heavy floods exarcerbated by mountaintop removal, Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has deemed 42 out of 48 permits (87.5 percent, to be exact) to blow the tops off of Appalachian mountains "environmentally responsible."

I guess Appalachia is a “hope” and “change” free zone.  It's definately the national sacrifice zone for our energy addiction.
