Coal is not safe or environmentally friendly. The coal industry is parasitic. A bunch of uneducated hicks who think their job security lies in making people sick and killing people with coal.
MERTH, I keep wondering when (if) the brilliant minds out there will suddenly see the light of Day and realize that coal is a miracle substance. I have seen attitudes change rapidly. And when that happens stock suddenly becomes in vogue. LOOK AT ELECTRIC CARS IN THE LAST YEAR OR 2! Myriad EV related stocks have risen 5, 10, 15 fold in literally months. AND THEY NEED COAL. Just sayin'..
