Well I came in to say that I'm not exactly what some would call a tree hugger but I am a nature lover and I sure would hate to see the Appalachians get all tore up. It seems others share the same sentiment.
Also, I feel like the Appalachian folk would fight with bloodshed to save their land.
Didn't they do, in some capacity, mountain top removal to get at coal? That seems destructive. Slurry ponds contaminating everything too. I know coal is not the same as lithium, nor is it mined in the same ways but seeing pictures of lithium mines, I dunno, seems like it could be pretty devastating to the area.
I'm not from Appalachia so I only know what I've read about.
They tunneled underground to get coal. I've driven through the area numerous times, and I've never seen any lasting evidence of former mining. Nature takes over quickly after man leaves.

It's not "tore up" by the coal mining and other mines we used to have.

WV is a beautiful state.
