Mountain Top Removal by Dominon Power: Creating Permanent Deserts in Deciduous Forests


As copied from DemocracyInAction.org

Dominion Power, Virginia’s largest utility, wants to build a new 585 megawatt, $1.6 billion coal-fired power plant in Southwest Virginia’s Wise County. The new plant would be a major step backwards for Virginia, increasing the state’s dependence on dirty coal and devastating mining practices at a time when we should be moving toward a future of clean, renewable energy sources.
