Massey has undertaken rehabilitation projects in the region, having already planted one million new trees in Central Appalachia - but critics say such efforts cannot undo the damage. It's the domino effect: initial damage from mining sets off an endless series of environmental consequences that are hard to trace, and even harder to fix. "The impacts appear to be permanent," says Palmer. "There is no evidence whatsoever that forest reclamation on mountaintop mine sites have been successful...

Put those four things together, and you have the makings of a pizza that will please anyone. Domino's still doesn't get that - their new pie is a Franken-pizza of different cheeses, garlic-, salt- and butter-drenched crust and pepper-spiked sauce. But the fact that they bothered to make it at all shows that, in pizza as in politics, Americans have a persistent urge...
