The coal mining country in Ohio is just beautiful. No one would even know that coal had been mined, the land has been so remarkably reclaimed.
I will not argue which method is / was best. Mostly . . . was.
Only to note that: coal has had a purpose in the development and sustainment of human life and civilization. Mother Nature did not let out a primal scream when her coal was taken to be used for . . . perhaps the reason it was intended.
Human beings have some hubris, though, to dictate NOW that the environment in THIS TIME has to be PRESERVED at ALL COSTS.
By methods which do NOT EVEN preserve the present Nature!!, but do indeed destroy it: they use mining, but different mining!! and the killing of birds! to implement their flawed short-sighted policies.
WHO SAYS this nature at this point in time is the best nature? Mother Nature doesn't, who put land under seas and then under glaciers, that we now can live on!
They claim to preserve this Nature of this particular point in history, and proceed to the mining of rare minerals to their obvious depletion! (and we are NOT running out of hydrocarbon fuels!), destruction of the environment for the massive land fields needed for solar and wind to even begin to replace coal, oil, gas, and nuclear.
They are actually NUTS! They want to save the planet and put the rest of us into slavery, by destroying vast components of the earth they are claiming to save and preserve?!?
Doesn't pass the logic test. It is propaganda.
