Nothing wrong with a natural death of any industry in a free market capitalistic economy....as its the market (not the government) that determines the fate of any product or service. If coal is fated to fade into the sunset.....THATS A GOOD THING as the market has freely determined that our energy needs are being provided by a viable competitive or cheaper alternative.

If you are looking for a left wing knee jerk response....sorry, no laugh today. There is no harm from a natural death.

Reality and Truth: Just what is the difference in replacing one fossil fuel with another? It appears that thanks to "FRAKING"....natural gas is replacing coal as the fossil fuel of choice to fuel electric power plants.

Do you ever read your own articles to comprehension? LMAO

Has anyone ever run into a happy well adjusted progressive? They are by majority just like the Nazi's, always walking around like someone just pissed in their cornflakes.

Natural gas is a bit cheaper and cleaner than coal.. and I don't think there are any investors looking to build new coal fired power plants.

Your point? Of course anyone in a free market society will go for CHEAPER....especially a capitalistic electric corporation. That's the American way.

It simply means the miners are going to take the underground drills out of their hand replace them with hard rock service drills and water cannons. Mother earth has centuries of natural, cheap, fossil fuel to consume. What were you expecting windmills and Chinese solar panels? I'd wager that the device and the system you are now accessing are greatly DEPENDANT upon Mother Earth's natural resources.

Do you suppose they will export US coal? No one is going to invest in new coal fired power plants.

Sucks to be a treehugger….no?

Its either fracking or minning…..right now with all the deregulation, FRACKING is producing cheaper electricity. Elections have consequences.

the slight uptick in coal hiring is attributed to export which is projected to fade in some months.

I feel sorry for coal workers about the same as I do for negatively affected tobacco farmers. Very little.
It's bad for you, it's bad for everyone else. Find something not immoral to do.
