I was reading a few articles today and a couple of them I want to share with you and talk about a little. The first quote is from Chelsea Clinton speaking to students in Kentucky. Clinton: Mom is ‘most prepared’
A new Clinton administration would resume full enforcement of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts [...]



Walker Machinery says “Life is thriving on mountaintop mining”

» by Mountainsaver May 10, 2008 at 4:17 am » Comments (2)

I seen this commercial where Walker machinery says life is thriving on mountaintop mining sites. It shows a couple of deer and some butterflies on a so called reclaimed mountaintop removal site. Why would deer and butterflies hang around a place that has no vegetation. No hardwoods or flowers, just rock and some imported grass [...]

I have to tell you about a discussion I was wrangled into yesterday concerning mountaintop removal coal mining.
A close relative read my post entitled Clean, Carbon Neutral Coal? the first thing they wanted to know is why I was trying to stop all coal mining. Somehow this is where I get taken wrong. I personally [...]

MTR - It’s Simply Not Worth It

» by Denny May 5, 2008 at 9:30 pm » Comments (3)

I want to talk about my battle against MTR just a little. You can look around any of my blogs and one of the first things that may or may not be obvious is the fact that you will find no ads. I’m not in this to make money. I’m not in this battle to [...]

This story is actually a week or so old, until today I couldn’t decide what I wanted to say about it.
Massey Energy CEO, Don Blankenship, recently told Wall Street analysts he intends to open a new mine every 17 days this year. He said the biggest problem would be finding the 300 to 400 miners [...]

This is just an informational post. I wanted to let you know of a couple things going on - on and off the blog.

Thanks, Denny, for inviting me to your blog! For those that don’t know me - I’m a mom and a filmmaker. I’ve spent most of my life in West Virginia - always close to the Greenbrier River. I grew up surrounded by National Forest. Until a few years ago I could [...]



Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind

» by Denny May 1, 2008 at 12:01 am » Comments (1)

One would probably wonder why it is that I am all of the sudden all upset over mountaintop removal coal mining when it has been going on for twenty years or more. I would wonder that as well.
One reason is that I have spent the largest portion of the last 20 years in Ohio and [...]
