Mountain Top Removal & the Bush Administration

Give me the best names and contacts to voice my despair and anger and I will follow up with protests up the chain to the white house.  I used a lower case W to signify my disgust with the total disregard "for which we stand" unless it is attached to the almighty $ or to a political manipulation.

I am an environmental engineer and have conducted numerous windshield studies throughout most of West Virginia.  It takes little time and effort (unfortunately)to see firsthand the results of previous illegal MTR.  The only ones to benefit from this practice have been the mine company owners and real estate barrons.

One does not even have to drive through or flyover the devastated areas. Simply go to a university library and take a look at the 1970 and 2000 West Virginia aerial photographs.  MTR is responsible for all of the cleared or "mall" filled flat tops that once were lush, vegetated mountain ranges.  The same libraries, as well as the state's Bureau of Public Health, contain documented proof of the environmental damage.

What do we have to do to end the white house's undemocratic devastation of our political, environmental, and moral landscape?  How do we awaken an apethetic populous to their design for immediate gain regardless of long term ramifications?  

Paint the path towards likely receprtors and I will follow up with other articles to gain a peaceful way out of unbridled destruction of our environment.On A report from W. Va. posted 2 years, 3 months ago 15 Responses
