http://www.ilovemountains.org/memorial/c301/13 END MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL COAL MINING IN APPALACHIA! Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:20:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 http://www.ilovemountains.org/memorial/c301/13#comment-31463 Bethany Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:32:14 +0000 http://www.ilovemountains.org/memorial/c301/13#comment-31463 An entire mountain top removal site can be run by 8-12 people. Therefore, the number of jobs that they create is very minimal. Also, because MTR is cheaper, faster, and requires a far less amount of workers than underground mining, it actually serves as competition for underground mining companies thus a huge loss of jobs for the people here.

Think of the hundreds of kids that won't know if they even be able to have food on the table because of their dad's losing their jobs.
