Coal River Mountain still in danger

Coal River Mountain, one of the last mountains left intact in the Coal River Valley of West Virginia, is once again in danger (h/t to It's Getting Hot in Here):

This just in from the Coal River Mountain Wind Project – the thousands of emails and calls you sent in September temporarily saved Coal River Mountain from Massey’s explosives for almost two months, but today the outlook just started to look a lot worse. We need you to call Governor Manchin at 1-888-438-2731 and remind him that thousands of people across America are watching West Virginia–and waiting for Governor Manchin to choose long term prosperity and clean energy over mountaintop removal and Massey Energy’s profits.

Coal River Wind and Appalachian voices produced this great video showing what's at stake for this region of West Virginia:
