So much to lose. Families are losing their heritage,their homes. Everyone is losing the beauty of what once was the mountains with all it's creatures. In a state where fishing and hunting helped feed a family you have to wonder what they do now. Once clean mountain air now clogged with dust and chemicals so many of future generations will be sick in so many ways. All of this for what? A few more years of coal? The real cost is not in the coal but the cost of life and the environment and it's just not worth it.
