The groups, which include The Sierra Club, Alliance for Appalachia and Greenpeace, say they will send more than 500,000 e-mails to individuals Thursday and Friday to press their campaign to halt Massey's mining operation on Coal River Mountain.

The groups say the mountain should be preserved as a wind farm and not mined for its coal reserves.

They want President Barack Obama and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to step in a stop the mining.

West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin has said he won't interfere because Massey has valid state permits to mine the mountain.
