Wow! You know the data has been in regarding MTR and extremely high rates of birth defects, cancers and assorted ailments for folks near MTR coal mining sites (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935111001484). And it has been pretty clear to those not blinded by party rhetoric, greed and campaign finance that the majority of the residents in these communities want this form of mining to end. The results of a recent bipartisan poll show this clearly. Please check it out, the link is provided by clicking the title to this entry, and call someone in congress (202-225-3121) and tell them about it, again, because "annoying persistence" pays off. Peace
