Update: As everyone knows the coal markets are in bad shape right now. Many local coal companies have had huge layoffs, shut down completely, or filed bankruptcy. We have avoided this mess because we have kept our coal off the market and it is a good thing we have! We will start hiring just as soon as the market gets better! We hope that is soon!!

Public Service Announcement:

Everyone in the fossil fuel industry should be very happy with President Trump's H.R. 1 bill because it finally ends tax incentives given to the solar industry! Solar power has enjoyed an unfair advantage because of these horrible tax incentives!
