Mountaintop removal activists cling to the belief that we still have a functioning democracy in America, and that members of Congress can be convinced that the people and mountains of Appalachia are more important than political campaign contributions from Big Coal. It is a brave and courageous and inspiring dream, and one that, in a better world, every American would share. After all, mountaintop removal mining is forever destroying huge swaths of southern Appalachia, decimating some of the most biodiverse mountains in the world, burying streams and polluting drinking water, and, worst of all, trapping the people of Appalachia in a brutal economic tailspin that profits Big Coal and leaves sickness, poverty, and despair for everyone else.
