In our area we were just as dependant on the textile mills. We didn't think we could live without them but we all survived.Myself and practially everyone of my extended family, and almost everyone I knew worked in the mills. But you know what, when they all closed down and moved to Mexico, China or where ever we were better off without them. We got out of our nutshell and found something else.And we wondered why we hadn't done that before. My ex husbands family came from coal mining country and his father died in our house of black lung disease caused by coal dust. I want you to know that you can look ahead and know something better is out there than coal mining and appreciate that it is so.We would still be in the mills if they hadn't closed down and likely my children and grandchildren. Thank goodness for the closings. thank you again everyone, Crissleigh, We are all dependant on coal for our energy and some such as you depend on it for your daily bread.

I mean, earth goes through a cycle every 45,000 years. We're in that cycle right now. Also, is it truly the government's responsibility to stop global warming. <br /> <br /> Strong article though unfortunatly i don’t believe in global warming being caused by humans..

To think man has no contribution to it is, to me, just silly.<br /> Coal? $ more important than species. There is no reason why with today's technology every home can't be outfitted with solar panel and every new construction use geothermal. In the long run it would create jobs and redistribute the $ from oil companies to smaller venues.<br /> Thanks,<br /> Clay Ruby, good job.

Our governments have failed us and we have failed ourselves. Power, progress, growth,and greed seem to be more important than the fate of our world. They should have been addressing this issue years ago but as long as money rolled in they continued their abuse in the name of progress. A very good article.

I agree that we all need to help with global warming. But it is hard for me to go aginst the coal industry. Being from West Virginia the coal industry is a big employer here. With out it a lot of kids here would go hungry and also it put cloths on my back and shoes on my feet. I know here the coal industry is cleaning up its act. We all need to do our part. We have a strick rules about saving energy at my house. We keeps lights off during the day,we shut our computer off when we are not using it, we do not use the heat dry on our dish washer. We try to make a few trips in our car as we can and buy gas that we get the most miles from. We also only have CFL light bulbs in our home. If any one out there has not switched over to this type of light bulb yet I really advise that you do. I have had the same ones for 3 to 4 years and they are still going strong. I also advise getting the reusable shopping bags yes each bag is around 2.00 but it is a good investment. It is not like you will only use it one time and that is it. I also advise everyone plant a tree or two every year. If you have no place to plant a tree look into donating one to a local park or fill your house with green plants. We all leave a carbon foot print on mother earth so we all need to keep that print as small as we can. Very interesting article. I agree that we all need to help with global warming.
