Help Save Coal River Mountain!

Shoutin' for the Mountain Christian college students see the real cost of coal-powered electricity on trip through the mountains of West Virginia On November 6th through 9th, Restoring Eden hosted Shoutin’ for the Mountain, a road trip to see the impact of mountaintop removal coal mining (MTR) on the land and people of southern West Virginia. From as far north as Michigan and as far south as Texas, thirty-one students and concerned Christians gathered together for the trip, united under their conviction that we are called to be stewards of the environment by protecting, and not destroying, God’s creation.  Participants are now taking the experiences and knowledge gained from Shoutin’ for the Mountain back to their campuses and towns to spread the word about MTR to their friends and family. Currently, students are lobbying their legislators against mountaintop removal coal mining, planning energy conservation campaigns and enacting other ways to creatively engage students on their on the issue.  “ Before going on this trip, I knew nothing of mountaintop removal. I now have knowledge concerning the effects of this practice on the environment and on the communities in WV, and a passion to do something about it,” said Lindsey Bouma, a Calvin University (MI) student who went on Shoutin’ for the Mountain.

Coal River Mountain Shall Not be Destroyed Save the future of West Virginia by supporting the Coal River Wind Project Through faith we experience the world; through action we give the world meaning. - Leo Baeck Please Read and Sign the letter to save Coal River Mountain! We need your help! One of the mountains we saw while on Shoutin’ for the Mountain was Coal River Mountain, adjacent to the nearly-destroyed Kayford Mountain. Coal River Mountain is one of the last mountains left intact in the beautiful Coal River Valley of West Virginia. However, Massey Energy has plans to mine 6,000 acres of the mountain - or almost 10 square miles via mountaintop removal. The proposed mining would bury over 20 miles of streams with valley fills, contaminate local water resources, put local communities in further danger of flash floods, and completely eliminate the available wind resource. Act now and sign the petition to save Coal River Mountain.  Read more to find out how!

This mountain removal mining is just sick. I'm sorry, but there's no
such thing as "clean coal technology".
