Vermonter Rising Up for West Virginia

If West Virginians need courage and support to Rise Up against Mountaintop Removal it might help to know that there are people all over the country that are standing up for us. The following "Letter to the Editor" appeared today in Vermont's Burlington Free Press. "Open Doors Waste Energy." The letter writer gets it!

IT is false to say surface mining is safer than underground mining...per capita there are more miners killed above the ground. Also , when strip mining is used, the entire community is in danger and is poisoned. When my father went underground, he knew he put his life in danger but with surface mining, the entire community is in danger, from the unborn baby to the most feeble, sick and elderly. Remember that.
Coal is not clean..it has our blood all over it. Time for renewable energy like wind and solar.
