Who will be the first reporter to get one of our elected officials on record with an answer to this question?
"If West Virginia wants to maximize coal mining employment, doesn't more underground mining do that instead of more mountain top mining?"
Lots of reporters are writing lots of stories about coal mining right now, maybe one of them can ask the question...
Update: In stark contrast to other reporting thus far, Ken Ward Jr. deserve credit for acknowledging the question--he's probed this contradiction on his blog. Be sure to read this excellent post for a summary: Mountaintop removal or something completely different?
