Obama already has a plan. Simply use cap and tax to end the use of coal to produce electricity and none of those miners would ever have to go down into those unsafe mines and instead could just stand in line for their government checks.

They’ve got ultra-big government in China and the AVERAGE annual death toll for miners is about THREE THOUSAND! Big government serves itself, not the people.

I’m not against underground mining; I just wanted to counter the eco-nuts. They seem to be saying that underground mining is not acceptable, so let’s tell them that we can do it above ground. Of course, that’s not going to be acceptable to them either. They really want us to have not modern conveniences run by coal, etc. But you’re right; mining can be safe.
