masbury says:

Historic and beautiful area in WV slated for mountaintop removal mining, even though more energy possible through a wind farm there. You may "sign the petition in support of the Coal River Wind project, but today that's not enough - Call Governor Manchin at 1-888-438-2731 and ask him to put a hold on this permit. Now. Like pronto"
