one december twenty second two thousand and eight acall ash impoundment at the tennessee valley authorities kingston fossil plant failed when an earthen dike broke spilling over one point one billion gallons of coal ash sludge over three hundred acres. coal ash lug as waste created from the burning of coal at the kingston coal plant it is believed to contain toxic compounds including arsenic and mercury. the tennessee valley authority as meets the cost of the cleanup over eight hundred twenty five million dollars this spill is ten times larger than the exxon valdez spill in alaska and is believed to be america's largest environmental disaster to date we're throwing away the next generation's most valuable resource and that is water one of the best sources of water anywhere in the world and maybe the best source of fresh water and

proximity to one of the world's largest fastest growing populations. and you know with all the hubbub and all the all suits and all the carrying on that goes on in the in the press and you know the vanity fair's and. us news and world reports. that where the authors are warning people to believe that they were absolutely strip in appalachia down to nothing. in order to get the mineral is patently untrue it's patently untrue when you look around at the forested mountains that we have a recent environmental impact statement from the e.p.a. estimates over eight hundred square miles of mountains of already been destroyed this includes the permanent destruction of over four hundred fifty individual mountain summits across the region the report also indicates the permanent loss of over twelve hundred miles of mountain streams. although federal regulations for

mine reclamation require that mountaintop removal sites be returned to their original contour these mines are routinely granted wavers the wind areas are typically graded and then hydro seeded with less but these are grass which clings to the compacted shale and rock that now makes up the topsoil nature builds soil for free but she creates the soil very slowly and so you're talking about thousands of years ago from something like a rock mass that has essentially no soil or is the very thin covering up to generate a few centimeters of soil you're talking about hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of years continuing at its present rate the projected loss from mountaintop removal mining is one point four million acres in the next decade an area equal in size to the state of delaware by the summer of two thousand and six at wylie has formulated a new plant for pennies a promise. our government choco do it or

a local school board state school board or do it in a way is say listen to that you know and parents and grandparents it's up to you to get this job for the kids you know we're going to write some money for school and one for your daughter i'll drop likely i'll go to school we'll keep you in our community. if you keep to it showing that our government if you come to this we can't get up and done for children. we're going to watch the trials in west virginia the worse we do you see ya know this is the rise awareness and raise money for new school it also opens a lot of doors and applying to chapman in our communities as far as mountaintop removal what it's doing to those in in in the mining industry to our communities

this is a perfect example of what what it's actually doing to our children the governor made us tighten our kids our future my argument he said i almost open for our jihad to march fourth don't have them all. least the. burning of coal and for over a century has been one of the most deadly things that we humans have done it through the air around them even after one hundred years of burning coal after one hundred years of so-called improvement of air quality according to the american lung association twenty four thousand people a year still die prematurely from air pollution from coal plants in the united states almost forty percent of the carbon dioxide emissions come from coal one of the things that has to happen is that the politicians the leaders of the administration as well as congress state legislators and administrations in the states all those leaders have got to finally say ok we want to call in the two

thousand election in west virginia was widely credited with giving. president bush the margin he needed to take the oval office was the first time that west virginia had gone republican in something like seventy years and guess what's going to happen come november we're going to carry the state of west virginia thank the coldest it was widely credited for giving bush west virginia so it was no secret that he had a large debt to pay to the coal industry and they made sure he paid it throughout my safety throughout the rollback of regulations on dirty power plants through a variety of places he essentially stalked all the regulatory agencies with with former coal industry lobbyists or executives like two thousand and one the bush administration made a white working change in the clean water act designating waste as a bill this wording change here the way you keep mentioning mountaintop removal

mining throughout southern appalachians. on january twenty second of two thousand and two president bush returned to west virginia it is such a wonderful day for us and for west virginia to host a special me in little with a special bond to our state ladies and gentlemen the president of the united states thanks. we can do a better job in america one of these days we're going to be driving you know automobiles that are fuel differently and that's going to be exciting times for america and we're just new technologies coming down and we can encourage those technologies so conservation technological development got to be an integral part of energy folks we need more supply you know work at school i can back here in the back and he said i'm real repairing a machine that dish for coal. we need to use coal we got

a lot of it and we need to make sure. that he thank. you around as it will for the past twenty years larry gibson and his family have been fighting to preserve their ancestral home place on kafer down outside charleston west virginia but when i met with the coal company the pride of my property here me and my family members and they tell me that we don't give a damn about people and carry current we don't give a damn about the people on top of that mountain all we care about is profits we're making and it was the dollar i would her body and the top line know in between there and if as vice president culver would auction a new gene kitts from magic oh and i think i'd be told me this gibson created the stanley heirs foundation refusing to sell his family's fifty plus acres to coal companies for mountaintop removal began his family cemetery was surrounded by

mountain ridges today a family cemetery looks out on reclaimed mountaintop removal sites eighteen years ago when i came back and it took me four years of criminal family a cemetery and in ninety nine to mount the third arrest in eighteen and or when i started this i couldn't get to people who listen now even my own family. now know about congo corner how press the knob on me oh that was their words before this knowing they're in my own mind. oh yeah. just for. the young eyes of the day we're never seen where i've seen the young eyes of the day we're never see the mountains the with no limits no boundaries we can roam. gibson uses the land of k. for him to educate the public about the effects of mountaintop removal one of the

biggest questions people asked me if i have a picture of the mountain before was destroyed. here people know. i said you take a picture of a mountain for it's going to be here for every. day by day seventy five hundred acres of active mountaintop removal mine continue to encircle his property another family cemetery sits across the ridge on the active mine site although regulations require the family members have access to the cemeteries requests are often not easily granted on memorial day of two thousand and six gibson and a group of supporters make a trip to the cemetery i want a day where we're going to go on the mine site in the cemetery over there and we've got to how lord around in different things going on and i it's just to me it's the whole idea would be short and probably count forty or gold it could get to cold even under a graveyard. after filling out
