Its like they WANT us to think that they are trying to hurt children. Massey tried to build ANOTHER coal silo next to Marsh Fork Elementary last year and was defeated. Now they are showing that they just can’t take “no, go away!” for an answer.

OHVEC has the action alert…

July 24: Stop DEP From Granting Massey a Second Coal Silo Near School
They’re baa-ack! Goals Coal Co., a Massey Energy subsidiary, has again applied to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection for a permit to build a second coal storage silo near the Marsh Fork Elementary School in Raleigh County.
