Mountaintop Removal Clearinghouse

Midnight at noon in Pittsburgh

Jason Godesky over at theANTHROPIKnetwork gives a dark, concise, and footnoted history of coal in America, replete with images and illustrations including an ignominious photograph of the smoky city of Pittsburgh in the mid-twentieth century. He avails himself of the remarkable knowledge and resources of one of the hardest working groups fighting mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia - Mountain Justice Summer. Godesky’s post is definitely worth a read.
