#1 Not only the environmentalists, global warmers, and their White House patron have hurt coal, but also fracking, and yes - mild winters. Utilities didn't use up their winter stockpiles and fracking makes gas so cheap, new plants use gas and older ones convert to 'clean-burning' natural gas.

#3 Remember during the "No Nukes" protests people saying "we've got enough coal for 500 years.

But that said making the coal industry clean up its own messes that may be caused by the mining and prepperation process isn't a bad thing either. As I understand it coal from open pit mines is washed. Does anybody really want that water getting discharged without getting cleaned up.
