Map of the Day - September 2nd


Those green dots represent coal mining. The point is that coal mining (especially mountaintop removal) has not benefited the communities to which it claims to be vital. I don't believe in coincidences this strong. Yes that mountain soil doesn't provide a good agriculture base, but mountaintop remove is destroying communities and the extraction of mineral wealth is not taxed nearly enough.
