Image Description: | Whitesville, West Virginia - The Patriot Coal Corporation's Samples mine, which uses the technique of mountaintop removal to mine coal. The trees at left have been clear cut in preparation for mining. The mountain tops are then stripped away and dumped in valleys to get at the coal below. The Samples mine has been temporarily closed due to declining demand for coal. © Jim West |
