Sounds like a difficult dilemma in your area -- between jobs and ecological health -- but your list of solutions sounds like the right direction to me. We on the West Coast share responsibility for what is happening -- it was a bummer to learn that as energy consumers in the County of Los Angeles, we are contributing to problem of mountaintop removal. Following your list of solutions out here also would help to liberate us from relying on distant coal and reduce the motive for destroying those mountains. Thanks for adding your perspective, Andrew.

I actually participated in a rally against mountaintop removal sponsored by these folks at Kentucky's capitol, Frankfort a little over a year ago. I'm from Pike county Kentucky, I've seen first hand the effects of mountain top removal from the river in front of my house running black and filled with dead fish to hollers being wiped out by mudslides. My father works for a mine supply, and most of my friends left behind have nothing else to do but work under ground. It's a pretty backwards place, but without coal there would be no community. I've contemplated for years an alternative for mining without sacrificing the jobs of the people in my town. Bring back non-corporate agriculture, livestock farms, and get some solar panels on top of the bare mountains caused from mining could be a small step towards something better.
