If the destruction of God's beautiful mountains weren't enough, Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining (MTR) destroys with flash fluds, mud slides, toxic ground water, and toxic air, just to name a few.
The Greed of coal mining companies, such as Massey Energy Company have left the people of Appalachia with few options. They can't sell their land for what it was once worth.

They fight!
