Silas House and Jason Howard each read an expert from their book Something’s Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal (University Press of Kentucky; March 16, 2009). The authors, Kentucky natives, are activists in the movement against mountaintop removal mining.

Then Erik Reece spoke about mining and energy policy.
