Coal mining

I'm against for continued coal mining because it's very dangerous, can cause health problems, and a hard job to do. Miners work under bad conditions where shafts and tunnels can cave in or flood and ventilation can fail. Also, coal is inherently moire dangerous than metal mining. When they break down coal the dust can get in their lungs and the dust can cause black lung disease. Burning coal puts pollution into the environment. Coal miners don't make that much money compared to the dangers of the job. The average is $81.462 for all the U.S. coal miners. They might make good money but, they are risking their lives and health. Coal mining shouldn't be a resource for the energy because it's bad for the environment, and dangerous for miners.
