I wonder what the metals are that Massey put into the

waterways... I know coal contains mercury, but what

else is joining it in the water supply to at least a

million unsuspecting individuals? Do the areas near

Massey's operations have higher rates of MR, AU and

other problems?

At what point to we balance the economic needs of an

otherwise poor area whose economy is based almost

solely on " King Coal " and the energy needs of the

nation with the neurological health of our children

and grandchildren and the economic future which will

see diminshed capacity in future generations and

increased care costs for those directly afflicted by

corporate indifference to safety?
