For better or worse, the bulk of coal industry jobs are in Appalachia - and when that coal is gone, so are the jobs.
The relevant questions now are: How do we move beyond coal? How do we bring new jobs to the coal fields and retrain coal miners for other work? How do we inspire entrepreneurialism and self-reliance in people whose lives have been dependent on the paternalistic coal industry?
