Sure play your fav game while the New World Order does it job, hope you are one of the 5% of the world pop left?

Regarding Chemtrails search on youtube and then find this info hidden in a PDF on a military website. The other link from the military website is a PDF that states no such thing exists. Are you being exterminated too?? Look above you!
GET THIS INFO OUT!!

im not against mining or explosives, but for God's sake people, find a better way of disposing of debris.

I live in Oregon & had NOT even heard of this! Hurray for youtube! THANK YOU for getting this on here! I shall be telling people about it, but my voice alone isn't enough by far. Please try to get National geographic & some major news networks to run some specials about it! I will be contacting any places I can find to protest this unjustifuied destruction of America! What good is energy if part the country is MISSING?

I doubt youenze have windmills in your yard or solar panels on your houses. Not until you turn you heaters down and your lights off will the demand of coal go down. You should be thankful for MTR so you won't freeze in the dark.

Nice choice you seem to give people. Rape the land or freeze... as if there's no intelligent middle ground, moron.

Excellent video. The cunning and money that must go into the lobbying effort to keep this out of politics and the media is so incredible as to be immoral. Sure, we all benefit in a small way from cheap electricity, but it comparesto Middle Eastern oil barrons getting wealthy while citizens get very little. Also, those who think this is OK are buying the propaganda of mining companies - don't let yourself be manipulated. Clean water and air, wildlife, and beautiful place are priceless.

Great post.

The vast majority of people who "support" this type of mining work in the industry, and are constantly fed lies about how we cannot make it without coal. Such BS.

Everyone who loves Earth UNITE to remove the cloak of Darkness and PROTECT the mountains.
Thank you so much for this video.

No one, including the MSHA or OSM really knows the exact number of acres that have been surfaced mined. They dont keep those stats, but most estimates say that 14 million acres of land has been mined by MTR, and only 1-5% of that is being currently used for devolpmental purposes. That kinda kills the whole "we need flat land" argument that the coal industry gives.

My drinking water will soon come from Carr Creek lake, which is on the 303d list of polluted lakes in Ky, thanks to MTR sites.
