Pictures of the AMD happening in Delbarton-Ragland WV

Main event reported to the DEP on 04/28/26 about a drainage event happening from the old Pritchard DH mine around Puritan around the Ragland WV area. It’s led to the discovery of 2 more spots from improper drainage. DNR has confirmed fish kill on Day 2 and 3 at the bottom of the spillage. And it’s still coming out of the mine.

We have since had Richard Altizer, Michael Bowman, Max Ashley, and a bunch of news media covering it.

Sometimes I mourn the forests we never got to see

There are old photographs of men standing on sequoia stumps, smiling like they’d accomplished something.

That was the story of America, really. See a thing older than God, cut it down, call it progress.

Sometimes I think the loss was not only the trees, but the people we might have been if we had understood that not everything was meant to be owned.

Image 4 was unintentionally AI-generated. After reading the comments, I agree it does not belong with the original photographs. I apologize for missing this earlier. Unfortunately, I’m unable to remove the image from the post, but I appreciate everyone who pointed it out!!

My neighbor gets around 10 cases of water shipped every couple months… should I leave a note?

Is it petty to leave a note encouraging my neighbor to try a Brita filter? I would say something in person, but I almost never see them. They also get loads of Amazon packages shipped nearly daily. All of this stuff has been sitting out in front of their door for days at this point. What would you do?

Pinyon Plain Mine, Arizona — May 17, 2026 — During a rally at the Pinyon Plain uranium mine in Arizona, land defendors confronted a semi–truck transporting uranium ore. The semi–truck had no uranium ore on board, however the truck was emitting low levels of radiation.

Land defendors blocked both lanes of the highway until law enforcement was dispatched to the area to clear the highway. Checkpoints were also opened on the highway leading to the uranium mine by law enforcement. After the rally was ended, law enforcement and unmarked vehicles were seen entering the site.

Nuclear energy

Nuclear energy is extremely low carbon, and waste storage is essentially a solved problem that isn't really a problem.

Why isn't advocacy for nuclear energy part of the environmentalist playbook?
