The above link gives the third lie about mountaintop removal. The common wisdom around Appalachia say that no politician opposed to mountaintop mining can get elected in Kentucky or West Virginia.
Well, a Catholic could never be elected president, the same was said a of black candidate. Common wisdom, as Thom Kay, Legislative Associate for Appalachian Voices, points out here is often wrong. Besides, folks in West Virginia and Kentucky don’t like mountaintop removal. It messes up the states they call home.
