Watch this ViceTV series on how mountaintops are removed to get to coal in West Virginia (instead of mining it underground, they now just rip the tops off gorgeous mountains, because it’s faster, apparently).
Impressive reporting (the coal company exec. is just as bad as you’d think) and video. Check out the whole series on Vice.
This was an insanely good series on mtn top removal. Good find Starre.

[...] Eco-Chick was kind enough to embed the first episode of the series, which has some nice production value to it. Well worth checking out. [...]
