'Still Moving Mountains' on CNN

Still Moving Mountains received more praise today - this time from Current.com contributor Peter Grumbine during an interview with CNN.

After panning the latest Britney Spears album, Grumbine introduced CNN to Aurora Light's new release (see video at 3:08).

"I know it's kind of a hot-button issue for a lot of people and whenever environmental things come up people imagine hippies and sandals... but this is actually a very local movement of people who have lived in West Virginia for generations.... A lot of great artists have come together to help support the locals that are fighting against the big companies that are basically ruining their backyard."

Grumbine continued, explaining mountaintop removal and why it's so destructive.

"I'm a loss of words because it means so much to me. This isn't against all coal mining. There's a method they use where they basically just dynamite the top of a mountain and bulldoze it into trucks because it's more efficient and they have to hire less workers. But they're going through in the state of West Virignia about a thousand metric tons of explosives a day. You don't have to be an environmentalist or a Greenpeace member to know it's not necessarily the best idea to blow the tops off of mountains on a regular basis."
