Protesters press Bredesen to end mountaintop removal mining
About 20 activists from United Mountain Defense and Mountain Justice Summer protested at the Tennessee Capitol urging Gov. Bredesen to curb mountaintop removal. They argue the practice harms ecosystems and streams, despite state rules and Department of Environment and Conservation guidelines allowing limited in-stream activity only when no reclamation is possible. The groups note permits they call illegal pollute Tennessee waters while officials discuss the issue in meetings. Mountain Justice Summer staged a similar protest at the West Virginia Capitol on July 30.
