Coal companies in Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia are ravaging our countries mountains. They blow up as much as 800 feet of mountain top at a time to get to the coal. For them it is quicker and cheaper to do it this way. This has caused landslides and flooding. It is destroying our ecosystem, natural wildlife, and endangering the residents living in the surrounding areas! Once the mountain tops are destroyed what do they do with it? Part of it is dumped into the valleys below, causing even more destruction, part of it is "secured" behind earthen dams. In one instance, one broke causing thousands of injuries, thousands of homeless and hundreds of deaths! This cannot be allowed to continue! I have given you just a small bit of information here, please look further at:
