Miners and Environmentalists Clash Ahead of Washington Protest

Opponents warn of job losses and higher fuel prices, while backers say restoration requirements are feasible and reduce environmental damage. Representative William Wampler criticizes the contouring mandate as costly, while Stan Scoville argues studies show practical, limited impact on production. The bill faces a conference committee this week and could shrink Virginia coal output by about 10 million tons if enacted.
