I don't know the laws of WV, but God's law states that we should be loving stewards of our planet. Blasting the top off of a mountain, endangering a school full of children and entire communities for corporate profits- even if the "law" allows this to happen it's not ethical or moral and ita crime against Spirit. Massey is motivated to use this method because our economic structure and laws work together to allow the company to externalize all of the negative impacts of its actions. For them it's about the efficiency of getting the coal out and making the highest possible short run profit. If Massey had to actually pay to clean up the mess it creates, or pay liability insurance that would inhibit the attrativeness of this highly risky method, they wouldn't be doing it. This is the legacy of unbridled regulation from the Bush era and the revolving door between industry and our regulatory agencies. In other words: back room deals to allow corporateers to rape and pillage our natural resources without regard for the effects on local residents or future generations in oder to create huge investor profits. People profitting from this are removed from the very real effects of their greed. They know not what they do, although, some of them do . . . I liked what Jane said about it above . . .

I like that posters here are squabbling over whether or not wildlife has been seen in a mountain top removal site as if hurricane Catrina victims visiting the rubble that once was a home is proof that nothing bad happened. Keep the sits up until Massey leaves! Cascadia sends love and support for the sitters!
