Mark you should spend more than 5 minutes doing dd before you make the assumption they won't. Coal is known around the world as being dirty and air polluting its only there because it is a cheap alternative there are substitutes fertilizer helps feed people there is no substitutes what makes sense here? This will be a mine i already bet on it grab some balls and put your money where your mouth is i did!

P.S. Look at the players involved with this also do some dd as to the money that will be generated in the next 30 years your coal mine won't hold a candle in demand or value or i doubt life expectancy!
