There are some reasons that mountain top removal isn't exactly 100% terrible.
Safety wise, removing coal this way can prevent many injuries around the area, and it is a lot safer than doing it underground.
There is pretty much no chance of gas or roof falls that would kill any miners.
It is a LOT cheaper than doing it the traditional way.
It's easier for everyone all around
