I work in an open pit coal mine in elkford bc canada, and people seem to forget the coal we mine now is steel making coal which is what we need for everything in everyday life, hospitals, schools, cars, houses
In some old school buildings that are about 100-150 years old you can sometimes find soot or coal extract in the duct system. This is because they used to have coal burning furnace systems between at least 1875-1925 (sometimes later) until other heat or energy systems were installed. A woman at our local book store said her father was an engineer at a local school and he used to shovel coal into the school system furnace system until the day he retired. She said he worked from about the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's until the early 1970's when they made the modern heating or energy system conversions in the school.
I've mined coal for 23 yrs. I've worked in mines that were 27 inches high and mines that are 16 feet high. Born and raised in Eastern KY . I've worked in KY WV Illinois and Indiana. Most ppl don't know the life of a coal miner and what we would do for our families. Which is why we do what we do.
