Mountain Top Removal Mining Podcast

Here's a podcast of portions of the Mountain Top Removal Mining presentation given at UW-La Crosse on April 30th. It gives you a good overview of the devastation caused by this type of mining from people who live there.

Speakers included Sarah Vig from Appalachian Voices, Howard Branham, a resident of Mingo County West Virgina whose home was directly impacted by a mountain top removal mine and a representative from the Sierra Club's Madison, WI office. The podcast runs about 40 minutes.
