This would seem to put a whole new spin on the phrase "dead industries".
I'm not an expert on this, but I would suspect that new technologies have made coal burning a whole bunch cleaner. And when you think of events like Chernobyl, coal is a helluva lot safer.
Also, one can't consider the coal industry in isolation, one has to lood at the vital communities it supported.
