ftr: coal consumption is basically as high as it’s ever been.

A little off in the last year or so, but it ain’t disappearing any time soon.

Responses:

My understanding is that automation was as responsible as anything for the decline in coal jobs, I don’t see that trend reversing. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 1, 06:34 1
- Partly the decline of thermal coal, partly shifting production to better mines in the west, partly automation. I don’t see a dramatic reversal coming, - mafic Nov 1, 06:51
Yes, but the jobs are. Coal doesn't need the manpower it once did, half these people are too stupid to understand that. -- nm - MDH Nov 1, 06:34 1
- No, it doesn’t, but it’s not dead. It’s not even dying. -- nm - mafic Nov 1, 06:58
