I'm from West Virginia too, born and raised here and I'm proud to say that this is a very beautiful state. Although strip mining does exist here, it's something that happens, and only in particular places, they're not taking over the state, and their supposed to replace the land with new trees when their done too. The mines are a part of life here, but a majority of the land is still in it's natural beauty, something you failed to mention in your video.....
