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.

Did you see the town of Centralia? I used to play Little League ball against
their team, when I lived in Bloomsburg. Nice town. Now is has, I think, 5
residents. The seam under it has been burning since 1962. Heating a house
there must be cheap.



There is some people that say the government wanted to displace the
whole population of Centralia and buy up the area so it can get at the
coal under the town. I think there was a concerted effort to get the
last residents out of their homes. Heating a house with coal is cheap
anywhere in this area especially in Centralia.
