This short video is self explanatory.

Here is a quote from a related article;

The Obama administration has vowed to reform mountaintop removal mining practices. The EPA has pledged to review mining permits, using "the best science" and following "the letter of the law" — moves that could delay the issuing of mining permits and require revisions to those permits.

However, the Obama administration stopped short of calling for an end to mountaintop removal. Environmentalists and some members of Congress would like to see an outright ban.

I have to say that kind of mining is just pure idiocy no matter how you look at it, unless you're a mining CEO.
