This document is a transcript of a statement given by Jack Roy at a public hearing conducted by the West Virginia Department of Energy on June 28, 1988, in Lincoln County. The purpose of the hearing was to give residents a chance to voice their opinions concerning an application by two coal companies to strip-mine at Six Mile Creek in Lincoln County. Jack Roy argues in favor of strip-mining, saying it would be good for the economy, and he gives his view on strip mining in other counties in comparison to that in Lincoln County.
