    This songs speaks volume of a West Virginia coal miner. My husband was a coal miner for 35 years and he risk his life for all of us to have electricity and to meet the need of people, if you never been underground don't judge the miner. If they don't work how is people going to have jobs and make a living for their family. Think before for u down the coal mines. I am a proud wife of a WV coal miner, He have gave a lot and he doesn't ask for a pat on the back just don't mess with his way of life.

    My Dad was a miner from age 14 to 36 when he got another job in education teaching welding and shop, my roots run deep in the coal feilds of Randolph County WV and I am proud to be the son of a coal miner and will soon be one my-self. Remember, the deeper we go, the more she likes it!!!! HAHAHA

    My Grandpa, Angelo Zeni, worked in the mines. Became certified as an electrician, too. Contracted the black lung and used his savings & settlement compensation & sold surplus steel Army desks he bought at auctions, then borrowed the rest and started a company that became Zeni Drilling Co. We used to be out on Rt. 19 south of Mt. Morris before we sold out. Mechanized large diameter shafts. We drilled at least 1,200 of your vents for 30 with only 1 fatality. I still live here. I ain't movin'.

    My daddy was coal miner for 45 years. He dug coal using a shovel and lying on his back in a black hole with 3 ft between him and the top of the mines. I have all the respect in the world for all of these hardworking, brave men and women.

    My dad spent his entire life with the coal mines in WV. and made a good living until one day he found out that he had blacklung. It was 14 yrs. later after his health went down hill he started receiving blacklung benefits. He didn't last very long after he got his money coming in until he died but he was proud to have been a coal miner. My mother still receives blacklung benefits today. Thank God for the mines without them she would not be drawing any money except her social security

I may be a little biased because they’re my family but if you’ve ever watched them live, their stage presence is amazing. I’ve never seen anyone have as much fun on stage as they do.

I thank the mine for helping him support his family... but truly... just thankful he wasn't underground.

    My dad was a miner and even back in the 70's he said it was time to move away from coal to better sustainable sources of energy. We all need to start moving forward towards new sources of energy rather than blowing up mountains to get at the stuff. I'm from WV and I love it so much that I want to protect it. What do you think is going to happen to WV once those big companies get all the coal out. You think they'll stick around to clean up their mess and help out the people left behind?

    Just so you know the vast majority of coal mined in Appalachia get shipped over to China for them to make steel. The coal that America uses from energy mainly comes from the powder river basin up in Wyoming and Montana. Wind a solar do require rare earth metals to mined that is correct, and most of that comes from Asia, but there is quite a large amount in the United States. Coal mines create jobs till the coal is gone (which will be sooner than you think) while wind and solar create permanent

    Oh I have A comment . I was laid off from the only job I have ever had that I actually enjoyed . The coal mines in southwest Virginia are the safest place in the world . It's A dangerous job do not get me wrong . I only worked for A few years underground but the time I was underground I always felt safe . The only reason that I felt safe was the people . The best people I have ever met in my life . Hardest working , most intelligent , down to earth people you would ever meet . The mines that have been shut down in this area have devastated the economy . They just shut down A whole hospital In Lee county . The effects are on our jobs . Now there are a few large mines still open for NOW . But all of that coal goes to China , to support the steel industry that left the rust belt behind . I worked my butt off to get the best job of my life and then politicians threw it away for Fracking . I mean come on have you even looked into what kind of chemicals they are pumping into our ground water . These people do not care . They make their millions , billions and move to another country leaving us with out any jobs . Were drinking hydrochloric acid ...THEY....... Then say " Well it's good for the environment " ......are you freaking kidding me .
    Please people reading this spend a few moments of your time and look into fracking
    They say coal is bad ........it's not the environment they care about it's their buddies bank accounts that change the policies in this country . Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely .....................GodSpeed ......................
