This incredible documentary is being shown on the Sundance channel this month. I recommend it highly.
It is about the people of West Virginia who are getting sick and dying from the effects of mountain top removal "coal mining." Entire tops of mountains are removed by blasting, the debris is pushed off the side of the mountain, poisoning streams and rivers, destroying wildlife, habitat and drinking water.

We are told that China is contributing to global warming by burning coal--what about this dirty secret: the USA burns coal to produce 52% of its electricity.
