That’s a good and clever poster, but Ashley is more right then she is wrong on this. Mountaintop removal is a lousy technique. There is lots of coal available without it.
Scoop mining out west works since the contours of the land can be restored. Mined mountaintops never heal. Fly over one sometime.
What would “healing” mean? Is this a situation that is beyond “Mother Nature’s” ability to accommodate? It’s OK when God levels mountains through plate tectonics, glaciers, and such, but only disaster results when people do it on purpose?
Anyhow, since there is such a big refuse handling problem in the US, why not bring the two problems together. Re-top the mountains, with landfills.
