And I don't mean that as a pun. Coal has no upside, no good side. This may not be a topic many of you hear about in some parts of the country, or abroad. But here in KY, we hear about coal ALL the time. So let me give you a little overview of the realities of the coal industry.

::EDIT:: I just found out one of the sites I quote here is spoof site. SO, yes, I was a bit punked, but the actual response to that site from its target, Peabody Energy is almost as outrageous, Check back for updated info soon!::
