This project is sitting about 20 miles south of me in Manahoy City, PA.
The project has been stopped in its tracks when the government pulled
the committed funds from the project. This area is sitting on the
largest antricite hard coal deposit in the world. If these projects
would get set up the oil industry would have some competition and that
sure would be a problem for them.


I know that area. Was extensively mined and towns with eery lack of
people. It was like yesterday that I remember being chauffeured past
miles of strip mining and my major tree hugging girl friend was
bitching about how they just raped the land and left. She recently
****ed me off so I jokingly took the devils advocate side and she flew
off into a fit until she was so hot that I just let it go. Her other
button was just as hot ! They could have at least contoured the land
so it wouldn't look like a mine. We went to a ghost town that use to
be a mining town where the mine owned the land and stores.

If you really want to see some of the bad results of strip mining go to
Google maps and see it from the air.

All the strip mining in this area done today has restrictions on how the
land if left after the mining is done.
