Excellent news. It's disappointing that the authorities had tacitly permitted the mine to continue operating, bringing noise pollution and carcinogens to the local population.
Based on the actual article, it seems like the coal mining operations is not technically illegal. They've been given a 28-day notice to stop operating as of a week ago and they are currently appealing the decision. I'm not saying that I support the coal company but I think the headline is a little misleading.
Someone tell me this kind of barely-action isn't lame AF...
Why not shut the plant down with force instead of just blocking a road?
Not every protestor is necessarily prepared to face big jail sentences.
Not getting caught is definitely easier said than done, that is for sure
