After you seal up a mine you don’t just walk in and trip a switch. Some cos. that I know of junked their equipment and sold it for scrap metal. The mining industry is not coming back, the Feds and State gov. have been trying for 45 years to put us out and they win. So be prepared to freeze to death in the dark.

It will NEVER, NEVER come back unless civilization falls and this country winds up like as seen in the The Hunger Games. NO company will ever be organized again to mine coal knowing full well that every two or four years, their business could be destroyed by liberals. Same reason there won’t be any more coal-powered generators. Those are capital installations that can cost 500 million to a billion dollars with a lifetime of 30-60 years.
The people who were mining coal had better spend their last dollars on U-Hauls. Seriously.
