West Virginia Water Poisoned for Years Jerry Nelson January 24, 2014. Liberty Voice http://guardianlv.com/2014/01/west-virginia-water-poisoned-for-years/ . .According to activists for alternate energy, coal mining has been proven to have numerous effects on the environment, and none of them good. Surface mining, otherwise known as strip mining, destroys vegetation and destroys wildlife and their habitat. Air quality indexes go down when mining comes to a region and the lay-of-the-land is permanently altered when mining operations take over.
.While rehabilitation, or reclamation, is required by US Federal Law under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, more than one activist has asked how it is possible to dig up a mountain, sift it for coal and put it back as it was.
.Ned Doyle, environmental activist and CEO of Our Southern Community put it succinctly.
.This is yet another example of how corporations privatize the profits above all else, then socialize the damage caused by that profit above all motive. Who pays for the emergency relief? he asked, Taxpayers. Who pays for the health impacts? Taxpayer and citizens personally. Who pays for the damage to waterways and groundwater? We all do. Until we recognize full cycle costs of fossil fuels and nuclear, the 1% will continue to reap obscene profits, while the 99% pay the price.
.West Virginias contamination affects 75 percent of the American population. Water from the Elk River flows into the Ohio which flows into the Mississippi. West Virginia isnt the only state whose water has been poisoned for years.
