Environmentalists decry 'mountaintop removal'
- By Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten | Tribune Newspapers June 1, 2009
WASHINGTON - With the election of Barack Obama, environmentalists expected to see the end of the "Appalachian apocalypse" -- their name for exposing coal deposits by blowing the tops off of whole mountains.
But in recent weeks, the Obama administration has quietly decided to open the way for at least two dozen more "mountaintop removal" projects.
Can't keep track of all the ways Obama has done the opposite of what he said he would do.
ReplyDeleteI expect "buyers remorse" to spread beyond the Coto Crew, in fact I'm already hearing it from my more mainstream friends.
Laudyms:
ReplyDeleteEveryone should be made to watch this video. Including everyone of these so called "mainstream" news journalists, whether they be from ABC, CBS, NBC etc. ought to be required to air this video or others like it.
Just look what these bastard coal corporations are doing to these people. And President barack Obama is in support of this? What is going on here?
Meanwhile, these poor people are without a voice in their so called "America." Their streams and rivers and property's are all being polluted at the expense of these huge coal corporations, who could ccare less about these people or the environment. As long as they're making $$$$. Pillage the Earth and F' the people.
