I am really surprised that no government official has stood up against this strip mining. Perhaps there should be a ground swell movement against this mining. I do not believe that there is nothing we can do. We need to lobby politicians, and I think Obama would not be averse to the idea of shutting down coal mines in favor of solar and wind energy. He has promised to create 5,000,000 jobs in the field of new energy. Now that he is going to be our next president, it would be opportune to lobby for this cause.

I live in Ohio, and I see your beauty disappearing. If it were up to me I would end it today, but it's not. And, as long as money is made no one will stop it, no one. You just have to chalk it up to big-ugly-money and greedy families who want everything forever. I have grave news for them, the Lord will see their end does arrive -- exactly when I don't know. I am not a tree-hugger, nor a conservationist, but it's time to move into a new era without mining... with solar power and nuclear, there is no need for it. May God continue to bless this country, what's left of it. And whatever you do, do not vote in a marxist like Obama, or there will be no country to call the USA. We absolutely need the trees.
