I cannot believe that you are even attempting to argue that point again, jr. I have been there and seen it up close and personal. Have you? I think NOT!!! How can you even begin to judge the quality or cleanliness of a pile of coal in a picture? It is well known that the waste percentage is somewhere in the 50% to 70% range at that mine. So I would not expect the pile on the ground to look clean and pure. In fact it does not. Also, you are judging the appearance of a stream of coal that is moving at high speed off of a belt head against the appearance of a stationary pile. You are attempting to make that judgment from a picture that was taken at a distance. I'm not at all afraid to start this argument again with you here on Ihub. It will further expose what a nutcase you are, jr.
Furthermore, you admit in one breath that the "gray heap pile came from the mine". Yet in the next breath you adamantly claim that the "mine is closed". Which is it? Is the mine closed or is it producing a gray heap? How can you even be so sure unless you have been there yourself?
One last point… How much sense does it make to truck coal into a mine simply to shoot it back out for a photo op? According to your theory they could not simply truck it in and dump it on the ground because according to you the " black coal is flowing from the belt onto a gray pile on the ground". They would have to get the clean coal back underground so it could be shot back out on the belt. That is a lot of trouble with not much to be gained. That belt line is not designed for loading coal into the mine. It has one purpose, to shoot the coal out. And I already stated that my visits are unannounced specifically to avoid encountering a staged production. I want just as much as the next guy to witness the real deal when I am there.
