In the film "Coal Country," there's a great quote about mountaintop removal something like: "this would never happen in the Rockies." And it wouldn't. Rocky Mountain people use those mountains for skiing, hiking, biking, running, camping, fishing and hunting, and they protect wild areas as true natural resources, boons to eco-tourism and of course, real estate values. West Virginia is equally gorgeous yet the people (with exceptions) are letting these companies destroy their state and with it, beauty, natural resources, quality of life, communities, property values and significant pieces of American history.
