Mike Malloy - Coal Extraction Is Killing Workers (w/ Bob Kincaid)



Mike talks with Bob Kincaid about the "Appalachian´s Agony".

A ninth generation Appalachian, Bob Kincaid is a leader in the struggle against Mountaintop Removal coal extraction. As a co-founder of the Appalachian Communities Health Emergency (ACHE) Campaign (http://AcheAct.org), he focuses on the ongoing health crisis that has arisen in central Appalachian communities that exist alongside mountaintop removal operations. The ACHE Campaign is directly responsible for the introduction of HR 526, the Appalachian Communities Health Emergency Act, the only bill in the Congress with the power to end Mountaintop Removal. As a radio host at the Head-On Radio Network, Bob has devoted more time to discussing the impacts surface mining has had on his state and region than any other broadcaster. Bob is a father of four and grandfather of three. Those seven are the motivation for his continuing efforts to bring an end to what the New York Times has called "Appalachia's Agony."
