For 9 days 3 tree sitters stopped blasting on a mountain top removal site tha is adjacent to a coal slurry impoundment that is perched over top of a grade school. It has been proven that if the dam breaks at least a 1,000 WILL die VERY quickly.
It has also been proven that the Mountain they are blowing up for coal would be more profitable to the people and the state as a wind farm. However once Massey energy blows up this mountain the wind potential will be ruined.
Tree-sitters enter their fifth day of stopping the blasting at Massey
Energy’s Edwight mountaintop removal site in the Coal River Valley of
West Virginia. Today, Sunday, is day 6 and my arrival. '~)
