I taped it when it first came on and got to watch it last night. It was a good watch. Pretty 1 sided, it was 1 HR and 50 MIN of the "green perspective" and 6 minutes of the guy who helps do mine reclamation having to talk about what his kids go through with teachers asking them to right papers on abolishing mountain top removal and what a horrible thing it is.
"There he goes, one of Gods own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die"
I'm supervised they let the guy get his 6 minutes in. Did you see that big white dome they built. That thing had to be huge.

i watch this documentary and am not surprised at how one sided it was. it is what i expected. they being tree huggers have stated that coal is not going to be economically viable in the near future. statements such as that are totally false and the reason is met coal or metallurgical coal, which is processed into coke and used for steel production, is not readily available in abundance in any other region of the world except southern WV. steam coal used for power generation is what most deposits around the world are. it is not of a quality high enough to be used for coke and never will be. i am a coal miner and as far as mountaintop mining, strip mining or highwall mining is concerned i am fine with it. i work in the underground side of mining and would be fine with there being no underground production at all because surface mining is so much safer. if that means that a mountain is several hundred feet lower than before and a few streams are filled in then so be it. i have noticed that the cancer card was used as an excuse to shut down coal production and am appalled by the use of this tactic. the reason cancer is at a much higher rate than anywhere else is that we do not go to the doctors as often, not because of a lack of health care or education, but because of a difference in upbringing. if you research any food or drug it causes cancer and cannot be contributed to the mines and water. if people feel their water is toxic have it tested and prove your point do not just accuse coal companies. the documentary threw a lot of accusations around but did not have much if any evidence to back it up.
