I just finished watching a documentary on TV this past weekend about mountain top removal and the extreme environmental consequences that mining has on our Appalachians. The effects are catastrophic, leaving the face of one of the most complex and diverse ecosystems found anywhere in the world. I was surprised to learn that our Appalachian ecosystem is extremely diverse, more so than almost any other forest throughout the globe.

I applaud anyone who challenges these “tough-guy” mining companies who are no different from our modern day oil conglomerates. What is it about the energy industry that creates such evil businessmen? Thanks for letting me share.
