There was a recent meeting held at Pikeville College on Mountaintop removal. I read from two different sources that those who opposed the practice far outnumbered those who agree with it. Those who where there that agreed with MTR are exactly who you would think they would be, Bill Claylor of the Kentucky Coal association, and several coal business men, who have a lot to gain out of MTR.

The meeting was moderated by Former Governor Paul Patton, who is very coal friendly. The students and attendees who opposed MTR really stuck it to those who support it. Don't believe just read these two reports on it. It's great to see that most people who are informed on the issue oppose it, while those who claim to be informed on both sides of the issue like some "Old" members on here, really just hit the same talking points that all pro-mtr people do.
