The Massey Energy Mine Explosion has all of us keeping those families in our thoughts and prayers. Coal mine work is no easy job. Probably one of the hardest around.
Massey runs 44 mines including the Upper Big Branch Mine which was the site of monday afternoon's explosion. It was the worst mine disaster in 25 years. Massey has beened fined numerous times for safety violations including a settlement of $4.2 million for a fire that happened at another mine operated by them in 2006.
Safety is not the only issue with Massey Energy.They also had enviromental penalties including a $20 million fine for Clean Water Act violations.
I feel we need more renewable sources of energy and I found one that you should take a look at. I think it will blow you away.
