This movie is total bull#$%&. Im 21 and just got my red hat strip card 2 days ago and Im trying to get a job with massey up on a strip. To say that strip mining destroys mountains is retarded. All your doing is cutting down to the coal, cutting/hauling it out to keep your f#$%&#$ lights on, and reclaiming the land to make it look as good or better than before. Massey reclaimed behind my house and accross the road from where I live and its beautiful now. The grass is green and theres always deer around. To say that mountain top removal is the cause for you getting flooded is retarded also. You live in a valley and when water gets up its gonna fill it up dumb#$%, thats what you get for living in a creek bed. If you dont want to get flooded then move!!!! (to another state)

Brandon, you are not cutting the mountain…you are blowing up the mountain…bombing God’s mountains… so you are talking the B..S..
IT is NOT OK to blow up animals and people’s homes and poison people’s water so that you can buy big trucks and 4 wheelers.
We could have jobs for everyone in WV if we could switch to renewable energy and make solar panels….
Wind and solar makes electricity….Water is more important than coal….
ALso how many more mountains so you think is left to mine…Soon there won’t be any mountains, water, jobs or coal what will you do then? IF you want to live in a flat state go to Kansas…you are in the wrong state. You really need to educate yourself…..

Wow Brandon, you sound like you’ve made a good career choice. Shortsighted, lack of empathy, uneducated to the GLOBAL ramifications of MTR, naive enough to believe company propaganda, narcissistic, self-serving, a healthy case of deformation professionnelle, AND a blossoming commmand of the english language. What’s not to love? I hope you continue to watch and learn as the effects of MTR on human life, animal life and the environment become more and more apparent everyday. This is no longer a crisis hidden behind the WV state line…Educate yourself.
