ICG, one of the bigger coal companies, has just started a new strip mine site. So I get to see them tearing up the earth and digging out the coal on my drive to work and home every day. I've lived here 15 years and thanks to the coal industry, there are a lot fewer mountains than there used to be. BTW, there's no such thing as "clean coal."
Earth First! We'll strip mine the other planets later.
