From Blue Earth Alliance:
Mountains in Appalachia are systematically dismantled in order to extract coal more cheaply. This is in the beginning phase of a Mountain Top Removal site. Hundreds of feet of elevation will ultimately be blasted from each mountain. Over 500 mountains have been destroyed to this point. From Paul Corbit Brown’s “Toxic Water, Poisoned People: When Mountains Fall To Pay For Coal.”
