And; they (the wealthy French), were still being demonized by the leeches and their supporters! Sound familiar?

I don't know the specifics of the Alabama Coal miner....but at the same time...Many of the newer coal mines have zero resemblance to what many of us think of when we think of a "mine."
Many of these newer coal mines literally blow the top off of a mountain and they employ a fraction of the workforce of a traditional underground mine.
Mountaintop-removal mining-
Mountaintop removal mining (MTR), also known as mountaintop mining (MTM), is a form of surface mining that involves the mining of the summit or summit ridge of a mountain. Coal seams are extracted from a mountain by removing the land, or overburden, above the seams. The land may be dumped back on the ridge and compacted to reflect the approximate original contour of the mountain.[1] It is the predominant method of coal mining in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. Explosives are used to remove up to 400 vertical feet (120 m) of mountain to expose underlying coal seams. Excess rock and soil laden with toxic mining byproducts are often dumped into nearby valleys, in what are called "holler fills" or "valley fills."[2][3][4] Less expensive to execute and requiring fewer employees, mountaintop removal mining began in Appalachia in the 1970s as an extension of conventional strip mining techniques. It is primarily occurring in Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee.
Just like drilling for oil and fracking...there are good operators and bad operators. To the hell with the bad actors who pollute the environment and really don't employ a lot of people.

Federal investigators will start cutting up tanks for evidence at the site of a spill that tainted 300,000 West Virginians' water supply.
Chemical Safety Board spokeswoman Hillary Cohen says on April 24 the agency plans to begin removing parts of three Freedom Industries tanks. Each contained the same coal-cleaning chemicals.
On Jan. 9, one of the tanks leaked into the Elk River, spurring a ban on tap water for up to 10 days. In Freedom bankruptcy documents, the board says the tank contained at least two holes believed to be caused by corrosion.
Bankruptcy documents say the board is awarding an 11-day contract to cut tanks with high-pressure water jets, followed by a six-month lab work contract.
The U.S. Attorney's Office and state attorney general are also investigating the spill.
