Pro-Mountaintop Removal

1.Coal makes up most of WV's economy- coal money makes up almost all of West Virginia's money. if we got rid of coal mining, it would take a while to get all the money we need from other businesses.
2. Much safer than underground mining- mountaintop removal mining is much safer than underground mining. there is no threat of cave ins because you are above ground and black lung isnt as dangerous because one wouldnt be in such a confined space.
3. Less money to mine- you have to use less machines to mine above ground so there is a less need of money to mine.
4. Creates flat land for a place for other businesses- the flat land left behind by mountain removal can be used as a place to make buildings for any type of business or other type of building.
