Coal was used widespread starting in the 1400's, I guess. We are living in 2018. 618 years of burning the same nasty crap. Does that not alarm any one of a huge lack of technology advancement?

While I do feel bad for the loss of jobs, the fact that the coal communities were investing so hard in the future miners is a big red flag. Why put all your eggs in one basket like that? Why not use the wealth from the coal to further your children to bigger and better things rather than an "easy" guaranteed job in a mine?

I agree, this is already political. Shut it down.

Im not even worked up, lol. This is the same argument Ive made before and will continue to.

The fact that this is inherently political is what makes it lockable.

Like, we can talk about Alice Cooper's "Dead Babies" but eventually some one will probably bring abortion into it, which is political...spiraling into....shut it down. LOL
