chapter 1 summary

Appalachia was home to MR. Erik Reece and he always spent some of his summer in the forest hiking, writing, and sketching. One day while biking he noticed that flat lands and ponds have been filled with coal slurry. He explained that Mountain Top Removal has been a burden to the people of Appalachian for years and the top of the mountain has been blasted with ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel. The sulfur dioxide that escapes coal burning is responsible for acid rain, respiratory infection, asthma, and lung disease. At the same time forest world wide have been shrunk from 5 billion hectares at the beginning of the of the twentieth century to 2.9 billion hectares because of deforestation. Erik also said that 12 percent of the worlds birds are endangered and 24 percent of its mammals are fish. In may 2003 a draft statement was released by the programmatic environmental impact that mountain top is bad for these reasons, it buries water streams, causes erosion and flooding, degrades water quality, kills a lot of aquatic life, shakes foundation and wipes away huge portions of diverse ecosystem. Both Clinton and the Bush administration have found it difficult to stop coal mining, but environmentalist have used the Clean Water Act to protest coal mining. MR. Reece believes that carbon tax should be given back to the coal fields in forms of subsidies for jobs in reforestation. The jobs would lead to carbon sequestration and green jobs. Central Appalachia is poor because so much has been taken from it and so little has been returned. The mountain of Appalachia are responsible for the illumination and air conditioning of billions of houses, and neither the people nor the land has been properly compensated. Erik Reece witness the decimation of a single mountain, exposing how issues of corporate executives, and government negligence have affect the people. He concluded by saying that Mountain Top removal have done more harm than good to the people of Appalachia.

Rhetorical pecis

Erik Reece in "Lost Mountain"(Harper's, 2005. 465.70). He states that mountain top removal destroys natural vegetation and causes social problem for the people of apppalanchia. Erik Reec developed his thesis by giving accurate account of the causes of mountain top removal because he witness it. He gave statistic records of oil spill and social ills of MTR.
He purpose wasto give an insight of the causes of MTR and suggests that alternative energy is the solution to get a clean and safe environment. His target audience were people that wants a clean environment and environmentalist.

Rhetorical pecis

Jeff Goodell in "Big Coal" (Dean Wanner,2004.0506)
He states that coal is dangerous and we should start looking at different ways in which we can safe guard the environment. He suggested a plan like Carbon Trading and Carbon sequestration.

He supports his arguments by saying that Carbon trading and carbon sequestration will pump cardioxide into the air and let the market reduce car emissions. He says that china has just signed a bill like that will enable them improve the amount of cardioxide in the environment. He also rejected the ideal that green technology is the only solution to coal minning.

Goodell purpose was to create a level field between environmentalist and coal indusry so that they can find ways on how to tackle the environmental issues of MTR.

His intended audience were enviromental moderates and the supporters of coal minning.
