Why? I'll tell you why Greed its all about the dollar made for the mining tycoons...yes it does put some people to work but the price that are habitat pays, far out weighs the benefits. This is the modern era, I currently reside in Oklahoma, and the wind farms are springing forward, there is a huge work force in maintaining and errecting such farms. By no means Iam degregating our miners these people has families to feed too, just as we all, the mining tycoons will explain that "it will benefit the community", many has fallin for that, the promises of a wealth of jobs, only to find out later them jobs are non-existant and are replaced by machinery and automation. Its truely sad, but fact is the mining tycoons has more pull in Washington, than we do, its called money the big pay off, I Love this Country, only problem is the corrupt Governmental Body that sells out to the highest bidder, it really disheartening to here a congresman state " its a good bill, BUT I have to vote my party"...so the question is this "what do you think the mining lobbyist are doing in Washington"...well it dont take a scientist to figure that out. Most people are ignorant to how the judicial system works, well be accussed of something innocent of the charge and see what happens to ya...As said I Love this Country, but all the corruption will bring this country to its knees in an economic melt down, i feel mad and dishearten for my WV neighbors truth is though the mining companies will say its all legal, there you have it right back to the Judicial System one of the most corrupt in the World. You want proof, here it is, Say your charged with a crime, you dont have that much money, so the State appoints you a public defender, even though he knows your innocent....he will state" he he he I would really like to try this case, but the Judge is in a bad mood and if you loose they will take you out back and throw you in a hole for 50 years....why do you say this ,because, the mining company has the money...your all done and its sad really it is, Iam sorry and my prayers goes out to you and this country.
