You have started to see with your own eyes. It's called a man that thinks for himself, accept no substitute! Where's RealVille at? According to him they're hiring like there's no tomorrow.

They are, in WV. Yea, WC23, think with your own head, you might see that layoffs are because of other reasons. Like natural gas being dirt cheap right now, and a lower demand for coal. I have no doubt that permits are harder for some companies to get coal, but some of my coal buddies say their companies have no problem getting permits. Maybe it might be because they protect the environment more?
