There's a growing movement to stop coal companies from flattening the Appalachian Mountains around West Virginia. Tensions are high. There has been lots on confrontation and conflict, hell, I'd even call it 'action,' but for some reason cable news isn't covering it... yet commercials for "clean burning coal" pollute their airwaves as much as Viagra. Odd, huh?

Thank God for citizen journalism, because youtube is full of this stuff.
