EPA's mountaintop removal actions -- what do they mean?
March 25, 2009 ·
Joe Lovett, executive director of the Appalachian Center for the Economy and the Environment in Lewisburg, has filed lawsuits on behalf of citizens that have targeted mountaintop removal mining for more than a decade.
In an interview, he tells us what he thinks the EPA’s actions do and do not mean.
He says this does not mean an end to mountaintop removal, although he hopes it is the beginning of the end.
He does say it represents a significant shift from the Bush Administration, however.
