I'm reading a book called Something's Rising. It's an oral history of various people affected by mountain top removal. Today I read Nathan's story. Reading his clearly reasoned thoughts about how he thinks MTR is going to be changed made me want more than anything to intern in his bedroom. Rar-wer. He is rational and realistic, yet is still incredibly optimistic about changing the coal based economy in eastern Kentucky. He graduated last year with a degree in Sustainable Agriculture from Berea College and received a grant to help him with the business he started East Kentucky Biodiesel. So, if anyone knows how to apply for that internship, let me know!
