Coal Companies have found a way to cut jobs, get coal quicker and make more money without any thought to the environmental impacts and the people living in West Virginia. They blast and remove the mountain top, take the coal and leave scarred, barren land for years. Will the Appalachian mountains become endangered? People are being fleeced with new terms, “clean coal technology” and “carbon-free coal”. It doesn’t exist. It is fancy terms to make people think coal is environment friendly but it still pollutes. Now the coal companies can rape the land as well in their greed of the all mighty dollar.
