    There are lots of terrible conditions we have in the coalmine. We work in a room which is surrounded with clouds of coal dust. We inhale coal dust all day and because of this, we suffer from asthma and other respiratory conditions. We suffer from hearing impairments because of the noise coming from the grinding machine. We are not allowed to wear gloves because our boss thinks that we could better handle slick materials and so we could work faster. The slates that we remove are very sharp so we often have our fingers cut. If we were caught wearing gloves or did not do our job right our boss would beat us, smack us with a club or throw rocks at our finger. Some of us would have their fingers amputated by the fast moving belts. The new ones would develop blood finger tips. We also suffer from red tips. This is caused by sulfuric acid from the coal. The most brutal one is when we breaker boys move among the machinery, some boys became caught under the conveyor belts which makes some boys lose their feet, hands arms, or legs and even such accidents happens the production continues even if someone is crashed to death. The bodies will be only retrieved at the end of the workday. Sometimes, a boy would fall…

    The industrial revolution was undoubtedly one of the most important events in the formation of the contemporary world. Sparked by the agricultural revolution of 1750 and 1880, the industrial revolution would transform Britain, and later the whole western world, into powerhouses of metal work, mining and industry. Beginning in England in around 1760, the revolution would continue well into the nineteenth century and bring around crucial inventions, such as steam pumps and railways. Crucially, the industrial revolution saw a switch from the use of wood and other bio-fuels such as charcoal for fuel, to coal for the very first time on a wide scale. It was this development that allowed the revolution to grow and spread across the whole world. Without the widespread mining of coal, the revolution simply could not have sustained itself. British lands were rich with coal, and there was a seemingly endless supply with millions of tons being processed every single year since the very beginning of the industrial revolution.…

    Coal companies are sneaky, conniving, and in some cases liars. The proof is right in front of them, why can’t they admit it? Jobs, currently, they are the most important thing in America (apparently). Let’s not worry about the countless mountains or streams being destroyed that could potentially provide future jobs for us. With that being said the three main problems of mountaintop removal are the jobs, the environmental issues, and the coal companies their self.…

    Up until the 1800s, America was almost exclusively an organic economy, one in which people met their needs of food, fuel, shelter, and clothing by harvesting energy and materials from the plants, animals, rivers, and wind. The growth potential of organic economies remained constrained by the limited ability of people to tap into the sun's energy through farms, windmills, waterwheels, etc. Carbon-based fuel use began in the late eighteenth century. The Industrial Revolution was ushered in by the use of coal. The invention of the steam engine and its subsequent use in mechanizing the British textile was the catalyst to this “revolution”. American industrialization began with New England's water-powered textile mills. By the 1830s, large-scale coal extraction had begun in…

    In the British coal mines of the 1800’s, jobs for women and children were harsh and unfavorable due to dangerous environments, long hours, and extremely heavy physical demand on the workers. The mines were fraught with opportunities to be hurt, as evidenced by the words of Robert North and the article “Women in the British Mines.” North shared how, while dragging buckets of coal using a girdle and chain, the straps cut into the children deeply enough that blood would run down, and that any who complained would be physically beaten. “Women in the British Mines” reported that hurriers (employees who dragged and carried coal out of the mines) were often at risk of being hit with containers of coal weighing two hundred pounds if the straps of…

    “President Obama is responsible entirely for the closure of that mine and the loses of these jobs”, Robert Murray CEO of Murray Energy Corporation told CNN after 239 men were laid off because an Ohio mine had closed. The current war on coal is not one of just and fair reasons. Coal has several positive benefits that greatly outweigh the negative environmental effects that some say it causes. The main benefit of coal is the hundreds of thousands it employs annually. However, with the strict regulations being put on coal mines these days the tradition of coal mining may be one our children will never know. It is our responsibility as Americans to beat the Obama Administration and win the war on coal.…
