I agree we need to be heard and support coal in order for this area to survive. However, we need to be intelligent enough to know that a time is coming when coal will be no more for this area. This might be a short time or a long time but it will happen. Therefore, we need to be ready. We need to get this area ready for some other type of industry this can be one of the many alternative energy sources that are being suggested or something totally different, but if we continue to rely on coal alone a time will come when this area will suffer greater than anytime in our history. Let's pray we have time to be prepared.
