We needed the coal to run the country. Appalachia needed the jobs. If we need the coal and Appalachia wants jobs again, there will be more mountain-top removal. No apologies.

From the NYTimes editors:
Without the coal to run the power plants the NYT and every other big city newspaper would still be a cottage industry, along with every other industry that uses large amounts of power.
There are no handy rivers and streams to power water-wheels to turn presses and other machinery near most of our big cities.
Without power in a form that is easily transported from where it is possible to generate it into the cities the city as we now know it would not be possible.
The NYT is demonstrating the lib/prog hypocrisy at its most vile.
Maybe “Skyscraper Removal Mining” would make big cities less destructive to the body politic.
