Chinese mining concerns want Tennessee’s mountains for their coal and, though up till now it’s been acceptable for Tennesseeans to blow up the mountains of their red state, damned if they’re going to let “red China” come in and do the same. From Mother Jones:

On Tuesday, the Tennessee Conservative Union, which bills itself as the state’s “largest and oldest conservative group,” started running anti-mountaintop removal coal mining ads on television throughout the state. Their complaint? The Chinese company Guizhou Guochuang Energy Holding Group announced last year that it is acquiring Triple H Coal Mining, which does mountaintop removal. The Tennessee Conservative Union ad warns that they will become “the first state in our great nation to permit the red Chinese to destroy our mountains and take our coal.”
“We’re proud that Tennessee is a red state,” the ad concludes. “But just how red are we willing to go?”
