You left out the third photo in the series........how the land looks after it has been recovered.
Kentucky now has the largest elk herd in the eastern U.S., courtesy of reclaimed coal mine land where they thrive. Cows obviously love it too.
And you are dead wrong that electric companies are the ones championing incandescent bulbs. My electric co-op has an obvious interest in coal since all of the electricity they sell comes from it, but they regularly hand out free CFL bulbs and publish articles each month in their magazine on saving electricity. They perform energy audits and give rebates to customers that buy energy efficient appliances. They, as well as most Americans, are all for energy efficiency, we just don't like being forced to buy something we don't like.
I find it funny that many so-called environmentalists are championing the mass production of a product with mercury in it after they have railed against it for many years.
