Extraction for fossil fuels can occur in multiple ways: Drilling for oil beneath the ocean floor (offshore drilling), Fracking bedrock for oil and gas, and Mining the earth for coal. How much public land is being leased by the fossil fuel industry? A lot.
MTM is a surface mining practice involving the removal of mountaintops to expose coal seams, and disposing of the associated mining waste in adjacent valleys. This form of mining is very damaging to the environment because it literally removes the tops of mountains, destroying the existing habitat.
