Elisa is an amazing woman everyone should really get a chance to meet her and if it weren't for her taking me out to her home and the coalfields I probably wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now. AEP and the coal industry has messed with the people down here for entirely too long and we need to stop them. It still tottally boggles my mind that here in Athens and down where Elisa is in Racine that they get away with this stuff like dumping bottom ash on our roads when it snows they say its "for traction" and the Ibeleive the city gets it for free so they put it down instead of payin for salt, but what are the true costs.
