    very poignant direction– I just have two brand spanking new thoughts
    1. they are terravores like carnivores, but they eat the earth, like dinosaurs, huge with small brains, they will leave the scars, but they can’t last. We can’t let them continue this any longer.
    Keep the lights on? All yall holdin onto some notion of progress at the cost of your own kidneys, I pray that a light will come on in your head, when you don’t have a place fit to grow a potatoe, or a glass of clean water, a place for children to run or laugh, a peaceful deep breath– guaranteed, you will regret your blindness and blasphemy against God’s green earth.
    2. Could they be getting subsidized? I just got the feeling that our tax dollars are somehow paying for this– and I have this feeling that I have to make sure that stops- who’s with me?

    It would be interesting to see the mining sites after they have finished, but, as with most lame movements, it probably would not be beneficial to your “cause”.
    If you dont like coal, then get off the “grid”.
    Coal is a win - win situation. It’s domestic and, cheap.
    Yeah, you could use wind, but a lot of you same people crying about mining, are the same ones protesting wind towers.
    Go Figure.
