This trend will continue as the administration pushes it's war on coal. I know of a coal mine that is a class act. It has had over 50 citations by MSHA in the last two months. Most if not all of them are frivolous. Even the truck drivers that haul coal out of there are harassed unmercifully and forced to wait for up to six hours for “inspections” of the trucks. They are not even allowed to warn other drivers of the delay. The goal is clearly to shut the mine down. Who needs those icky, dirty ol jobs anyway?

At this point, the admainstration's "war on coal" is largely irrelevant (not that I am in favor or it,mind you). Coal simply is not competitive vs. a vs. natural gas for the generation of electricity.
