For 9 days 3 tree sitters stopped blasting on a mountain top removal site that is adjacent to a coal slurry impoundment that is perched over top of a grade school. It has been proven that if the dam breaks at least a 1,000 people WILL die VERY quickly.

It has also been proven that the Mountain they are blowing up for coal would be more profitable to the people and the state as a wind farm. However once Massey energy blows up this mountain the wind potential will be ruined.

Two tree sitters remain in jail on $2,500 cash-only bail, each, after stopping a blast on Coal River Mountain for nine days.

1. I wish there were a consumer agency that would step in and prevent this

from happening...

2. Gifford Pinchot & Teddy Roosevelt would never have allowed mountaintop removal

What is happening to these mountains is criminal!

Greed has supplanted conservation ethics.

3. And common sense.

Yes, as a Democrat, I think that our government should step in and halt the MTR, and say why not a wind farm(?). It will not endanger the children or our environment...think long term profits you friggin idiots. just my opinion...
