I finally got back here to read this. It really is so saddening and disheartening to read about this. I have my head in the sand a bit on this one, because in my region we get the vast majority of our power from hydroelectricity. But that is NO excuse, and a good reason why wake-up calls like this are so valuable. We need to know this stuff, because if more people know about it then we might

This issue is so complex, because of course we are all complicit in the mining that happens here in Appalachia. Right now we have a 5 part series being written in our local newspaper about coal and the affects the new legislation will have on the livelihoods of many employed by coal. Today the title is: Mining the Mountains-For development you need flat land. It&#39;s hard to believe some people

These stories about these people--esp. in Appalachia--just break my heart. The exploitation of them and our natural resources for some company&#39;s profit is abhorrent.

You are a lovely hostess Lisa, thank you. Tough topic and so much harm in coal production.

Lisa, thank you for suggesting this topic. I learn so much through all of my &quot;sisters&quot; at the Green Moms Carnival.<br /><br />And the videos you posted are very moving.

The way coal is mined is both outrageous and a tragedy. Thank you for reminding us that mining destroys not just the environment but people&#39;s lives.
