Mountaintop removal mining site above a community

A mountaintop removal site in Eastern KY.

Thanks to one of our members for pointing us toward this interesting narrated photo essay on mountaintop removal mining on the Washington Post's website.  The piece introduces the issue to people living in DC whose power comes from coal mined in West Virginia.  It is a nice introduction to the issue with some really well-shot photos.


You can view the photo essay here.
