People nowadays are money oriented. They destroy GOD's creation for the love of money.

If the coal company owns the land...forget it.
Anyway they have to file a comprehensive mine plan which must include reclamation/restoration (they have to put the mountain back when they're done) which has to be approved by the Feds. Sometimes there is a public hearing where the neighbors can voice their displeasure with the plan...and then it gets approved anyway as long as the company jumps through all the government hoops to get permitted.
The national media is not all that friendly with the coal industry...but your local media will get blinded by the prospect of new high paying jobs.

once you tear down an finished mountain to get to the coal, the position do you positioned the mountain? It destroys all habitat for miles and pollutes or destroys any bodies of water in the section. an same those who say global warming would not exist because guy would not influence the surroundings that a lot, in no way evaluate that we spoil mountains & promote off them into valleys. Why can we ought to spoil the finished mountain, if shall we purely mine it the old style way? a touch extra time, yet you should have sparkling water & get money from hikers, bikers, climbers, naturalists, and everybody else who enjoys nature coming by ability of as eco-vacationers.

A lot. Mining companies in general contribute a lot to the economies of many coutries around the world, so they hold a lot of sway with many governments and populations. Fighting them is usually quite difficult.
Keep at it though, imagine what they'd be doing if nobody opposed them.

Very little with the media but a lot with the corporate whores that pass for lawmakers these days.
Try contacting the Seirra Club, they do a lot of great work
