This Is Not A Move For Clean Energy! This is a Push for Nuclear, Natural Gas Extraction, and "Clean Coal"

The Department of Energy & Department of National Security Sign a Mutual Agreement!

I do not know who is really in charge of the U.S. Department of Energy, but they know the only way they will continue to have their Power and High Paying Jobs is to keep the Energy Companies putting out Dirty Energy.

So much money is made in Mountaintop-Removal Coal Mining, Nuclear Energy and Natural Gas Extraction, that there will never be Environmental Justice!

In Government Speak, a "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU), is a little private negotiation that is made between government agencies to work together. The idea that the U.S. Department of Defense has been in the background making plans to "accelerate clean energy innovation & enhance national Energy Security - Is a frightening thing.

means if you protest against Natural Gas Extraction, or Nuclear Power, you can be considered an enemy combatant against National Security.

I have spent years, trying to give understanding to the regular everyday person who may not understand all of these acronyms and other Governmenteze that non-regulators or non-attorney are expected to understand. Out of 1000 people, maybe 3 or 4 will respond. In this case it is More than Vital that you contact your Senators, Representatives (sic), and President to let them know this is not acceptable, and it is NOT in the best interest of our Ecology or Economy.

It will be putting the same old boys who manipulated Regulations and Pollution Laws to benefit the Dirtiest Energy Providers. There must be a New Economy. There must be a Looking Up for our energy needs. These Energy Oligarchy's have been in charge, taking 20 - 30 percent of each Americans income per month...just to keep the lights on.

If this is not challenged now, and it is approved in all of its splendor, our Earth will not survive the completion of the 24 new Nuclear Plants, or legalization of "Clean-Coal Technologies" There is no such thing as Clean Coal. One more time, I am asking proponents of Honest Clean Energy to consider Energy from the beginning to end. Waste By-Products and the Environmental Damage done in obtaining resources for our Energy generation.

Stop this Today! I beg of you, please protest this with the people you voted into office!

EPA Makes Announcement Re: Clean Water Act Permit(s) for Mountaintop Mining.

News Release by Date:
"EPA Makes Announcement on Two Proposed West Virginia Mountaintop Coal Mines". Release Date 01/05/2010. Contact: Enesta Jones, jones.enesta@epa.gov 202-564-7873, 202-564-4355

"Appalachian coal mining has buried a estimated 2,000 miles of
streams in states including West Virginia. . .EPA has committed to use its Clean Water Act regulatory authorities to reduce environmental and water
quality degradation."

It is understandable that change happens slowly. Consider a mountain range. Talk about slow, it takes millions of years for mountains to grow (form). A short time for a new formation to push up through the surface crust is about 300 years.

The Appalachian Mountains were formed over a billion of years ago. ** Not only is it a geological prize. It enhances and supports entire Eco-systems including human Eco-systems. When large pieces of the earth are transformed by mechanical devices, it is very fast in geologic time. We cannot be sure of all the damage done. Throwing money at what could be structural global damage is not a fair trade.

Another aspect of the process of mountaintop mining is that this it is all for Coal Fire Plants! Hasn't it recently been decided that we must reduce carbon emissions and aren't consumer groups as well as the new EPA, calling for the reduction of Dioxins in the Air, Soil and Water?

I understand the need for jobs, but as a wise woman once said; "Hey, loggers, if you clear-cut all of the trees, you will no longer have a job." They clear-cut the trees, they are unemployed.

It is pleasing to know that mining companies will have to pay higher fees for destruction of the environment, but money cannot bring back ground to grow food in. Money cannot buy clean water, or fresh fish. Money can buy clean air for a few, but not the majority.

Look up for Energy, not down.

Thank you for all you do. Thank you for getting involved.
