Windmills Not Toxic Spills

Marfork, West Virginia — On the heels of the TVA coal ash sludge disaster in Harriman, Tennessee, where 1.1 billion gallons of toxic coal ash sludge collapsed into the Clinch and Emory Riveres, concerned citizens in southern West Virginia have been fighting to stop the coal mining of Coal River Mountain and to build instead the Coal River Wind project, which would create clean jobs in perpetuity.


Five activists chained themselves down to heavy mining equipment inside the Massey Energy-owned mountaintop removal (MTR) coal operation. Two banners reading: "Windmills Not Toxic Spills" and "Save Coal River Mountain" were hung. Proesters were completely non-violent and were taken off the mine company property without incident, cited for tresspassing and released.
