Coal Country reveals the truth about modern coal mining. The
story is told by the people directly involved, both working miners and activists
who are battling the coal companies in Appalachia. Tensions are high. It's a
"new civil war," as families and communities are deeply split over mountaintop
removal mining (MTR). The tops of mountains are blasted away, exposing seams of
coal, while debris is pushed into valleys and streams. Residents endure health
problems, dirty water in their wells, and dust and grime on their floors. The
miners are frightened that, without MTR, they'll lose their jobs and won't be
able to feed their families.
What does this mean for America and the rest of the world? The coal industry is
spending millions to promote what it calls "clean coal." Is it achievable? At
what cost?
