Sooner or later we are going to have to get away from coal, and the sooner the better. It does no good to explain the damages that MTR is doing, because most of you dont care, or arent wise enough to see it, but the damages will become very clear in the near future.

Thats alot easier to say than to actually do. What industry would you suggest we train people for that is going to be the same pay and benifits. While i'm all for the enviroment and i love nature we have to support our own. Just because I am not a coal miner does not mean I am going to turn my back on them. Thats the industry that put food on many tables in this area and i'm not just going to say the heck with all the men and women that work in it.
