Favouring Mountaintop removal


Here are the favouring of mountain top removal would have to say. With their high pride and understanding the market value of collecting the coal many of them makes a point the mountain top removal is more efficient and safer than underground mining. This also brings them to have the knowledge of the free market economics that would be available. This adds a question of "What if someone can't afford the basic necessities ?" as a response to a person who favours would say that the goal of making available basic necessities in inextricably tied to the free market and taking advantage of our nature-given resources. As for the dramatic changes of the ecosystem, favourers would stick their noses up in the air and say that to adapt to changing environments all the time and when compared to the actual benefits of this form of mining, the impacts are worth taking . Moreover, in a free market setting, most , if not all, externalities created by these disturbances in the local ecosystem could be handled through litigation and the court system.

Favourers puts emphasis that a coal company would only invest in a mining venture if both the expected marginal benefits of doing so exceeded the expected the expected marginal costs  of any other potential mining operation. Do they actually know that ? Well of course because of the opportunity cost. Any wise entrepreneur weighs the expected profits for any investment against all other opportunities and will choose the most profitable . Ending with their decussion.
