^I'm indifferent about coal. As long as they mine it clean, and burn it clean, I say go for it. The reason I'm indifferent about it, is that I know most miners are for doing away with my way of making a living, and wouldn't go to bat for my union way of making money, one iota. Coal miners sit around here and whine about no jobs, while there is hiring all over the midwest for coal miners. I travel anywhere in the US to make money for my family, and just don't have it in me to feel sorry for out of work miners laying here in EKY, and WV bitching about not having a job. Get off their ass, pack a suitcase, and go find work where it is, to feed their family, like I do. For the last year and a half, I have spent the week away from my family, working 6 days a week , making money to pay our bills. For most of my 24 years in my trade, I have lived in a motel, or an RV, away from my family. If an out of work miner is looking for sympathy from me, after me going where I have to to find work, they are crying under the wrong tree.
