Yes, there's still Coal in there! But a mine can only legally extend as far as the property "Purchased or Leased" allows! Otherwise, it would be an Underground Free For All battle, for whatever Coal the miners can get!
I grew up in Il. and we used coal to heat our house.I remember a big ol truck would bring us a load of coal n dump it on the ground,then my grandpa would shovel it down the basement through the coal shoot. Every morning I'd wake up to the smell of coal n coffee.I love the smell of coal and if I'm anywhere near where its burning, I,ll stick around long as I can just ro smell it.LOL Got any more coal places?
False my friend we are not running out of coal despite what you're spoon fed there's hundreds and hundreds of years at full production that's easy to get even more thats a little harder youre being lied to talk to some geologist its ridiculous what the powers that be are pulling on dumb city people who don't know any better and don't look into anything for themselves use your education you are so proud of for once
They're abandoned because the coal seams have run dry. I can't tell if this is both strip mining and deep mining but either way they're bad for the environment. They leave the tops of the mountains bare, Nicole companies will push the rest of the dirt and trees down into The valleys clogging the Creeks which then die and there's no fish, an acid water comes from in the mines and infiltrates the water making it undrinkable. My dad worked for the railroad which depended on coal and I had an uncle who was a coal miner. Both died in their mid-60s of cancer plus my uncle had black lung. ❤️ From Cross Lanes, West Virginia 👵
I just wanna explore them like the gated up ones in the new river gorge. I know there's so so many mines other than those gated ones to be explored! I'm a spelunker so I would prefer a big ol cave but a mine will do.
They abandon them so they don’t have to clean them up. I’d heard there is an area as big as the state of Rhode Island that’s been “leveled” “cleared of over burden” you know the mountains. There are strip mines out west that take more than a hour while doing 70mph to ride past. I’d never seen such an operation. The number of rails and the length of the trains on it, blew my mind. I feel sorry for the people of West Virginia. Coal companies destroyed mountains and valleys for a profit and leave a mess, for the state to clean up.
I night watch their buck security I read were that bout the land from old woman for a dollar they offer more to her but she did what to sell so judge orders mines to pay her a dollar
Mainly because its a hazardous dangerous business that creates hazardous waste. This brings me to the point of why this particular one was shut down. Too many and too much hazardous material to dig through with nowhere "safe" to dump the waste.
What hazardous waste? What are you talking about? They are digging the ground up. The same ground you walk on every day. There is no hazardous waste. The dirt and rock that is uncovered is used to backfill and reclaim in most cases. Coal mining is literally no different than lithium, gold, silver and any other mining. I grew up around this all my life and laugh at the BS that is posted like this.
That's not abandoned itd just be a couple of mounds of dirt with seals behind that you have to seal them up if you leave its still got something going on or it wouldn't be open like that
We had to coal fired power plants shut down and 2 mines closed. Utilities didn't even skip a beat. The rumor before was local towns would turn into ghost towns, and they didn't..the economy didn't skip a beat.
They abandon them cause the coal is no longer cost efficient to mine. They move to another location more productive. Especially these small seam mines they last a few years unlike the deep mines with big seams can last many years.
I’m from north france so all these miners and mining towns touch me very deeply

You love the smell of pollution and cancer?
You can get a coal stove for roughly $2000 and bags or anthracite nut coal from tractor supply for $6.49 without tax or shipping.
what City/ Township. what is the name of the Mine?
load coal!!!!!!!!!
It’s wild, I’m in Michigan and all our oil pumps that normally are running are shut down
“There closed, there’s no reason for it”
- doesn’t understand depletion of finite reserves and economic drivers.
It’s all West Virginia knows as a job to.

There's plenty of coal still in them hills. Economic factors are a different story though.
Where is this located at ??

This is an underground mine. You can’t just start a mine in the side of a mountain. You first have to wall it up.
And the regulations put on mining protects the environment from these things
Why would they mine it if there's no demand
The demand is there. China and India take millions of tons from South Africa, not stopping
Hi timmy, glad you got out of the well!
Thanks
You can thank Lassie

Your awesome timmy!!

bro you got to go in there and check it out!
I’m going to soon
Be sure you have a will. Those places are deadly even if maintained.
where is it?
😢it's sad, but so many things from the past are just going by the way side as time goes by, it's just the way progression is. 😢
Where is this mine at who owns it is it running now?
It’s completely shut down now and they tore it down
Where is this

The steel portals have been removed and dirt/stone piled in front of the opening now. They're located at: 38°03'45.2"N 82°13'37.0"W
It is not 90% of WV income
It's still income
And you love Hillary!
I guess its time to think green, and get WVA back in the game
Need to do something
Did you say this is in Moore county? I'm in Putnam
It’s in Wayne county
Maybe all the coal has been extracted.
A few mines has, but this mine was only in 1 year they shut it down.
@@timmyelkins1053 didn't trump open it again?
No this mine is gone for good
Trump brought back coal
Do you have the coordinates of this place?
38°03'45.2"N 82°13'37.0"W
@@MRBenchwork thank you very much
Where’s this at?
12 pole creek wade Adkins branch
Is that in Dunlow
In wade adkins in Wayne Wv
What part WV
Wayne Wv
@@timmyelkins1053 thank you I have kin in Logan and they took me to an abandoned mine that looked like that one
This mine was up a holler called wade adkins branch over in twelve pole.
Abandon all of them.
Why?
Freeze in the dark.

No you are wrong its probably some bunch of asshole inspectors got them shut down till they do something and shell out a bunch of money because of it
