An increasing number of coal-mining firms are using radical extraction
methods in Kentucky. Considered illegal by some experts, practitioners of
mountaintop removal are cutting down forested Appalachian Mountains to get
coal more cheaply than less destructive methods. They blast mountains apart,
push much of the rock and soil into the waterways below and use the rest to
construct engineered slopes. They argue that mountaintop removal is "more
efficient," is only temporarily ugly and yields a more productive landscape.
Before During After
If you think such arrogant and permanent abuse of the land, water, people
and tax base is unacceptable, join Louisville CAN at I Love Mountains Day.
Better yet, join us on the bus chartered by KY Interfaith Power & Light.
