If you really want to see streams cleaned up in the Appalachians, why not address all the raw sewer and garbage dumped in streams daily by individuals. Everything is always some company’s fault. I have lived here most of my life, I canoe and fish these rivers and my job involves looking at people’s property on site, so I see first hand what is going on. All mining could stop today and the rivers would be no cleaner in 10 years than they are now. You people want to end all mining and burning coal and you will do or say anything to achieve it.
Go ahead and moderate it, you probably won’t post it anyway
