Hi again,
here’s a link to that news story
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/27/nothing-conservative-abou_n_138086.html
stated that just during the Bush administration mining in the appalachians has permanently destroyed over 700 natural streams from dumping mining waste such as “removing mountain tops”
both destroying habitat, sports fishing, enjoyment, fish species, as well as polluting the ground water with numerous acids and chemical byproducts of mining.
that’s one area. 700 streams. its appalling. Anybody who loves the outdoors … should be appalled.
