				<p><strong>You can come back home again:</strong></p><p>A little late to the cause but she made up for it in Spades. We have lost in the last 4 legislative sessions with our Stream Saver Bill. We will probably lose this year, but we will be back. </p><p>
Fact, contract underground miners get $20.00 a ton to mine eastern coal that sells for around $60.00</p><p>
MTR coal can be mined for 4 to 6 dollars a ton if you are willing to shove 100-150 feet of overburden mountain top into valleys and cover up fresh water streams.</p><p>
It takes 4 times as many men to underground mine, MTR is destroying the Southern Appalachian mountains to save a coal corporation a few dollars on a ton. They are depriving the area of thousands more mining jobs that would put some real money back into the economy by using this miser mining practice. </p><p>
I know it is still coal but at least you still have the mountain and valley and get some money into the economy. 

<p>The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.</p></p>
