Trump once again screws over the people he promised to help.

"The very same day as Trump’s big coal announcement, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) published a notice on its website informing stakeholders that the agency would be pausing the enforcement of its rule titled, ​'Lowering Miners’ Exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica and Improving Respiratory Protection.' The rule would have cut the allowable exposure level of deadly silica dust—20 times more toxic than coal dust and a major cause of black lung disease among coal miners — in half. "

A tiny Wyoming community laments coal mine layoffs as it holds out hope — mixed with skepticism — for a nuclear power plant, solar and wind farms, and a potential new use for coal. Read the story at ➡️ WyoFile.com. --- #wyoming #news #journalism #politics #coalminer #coal #coalmines #energy

@ExtinctionR It’s next to impossible to install solar where I live in the middle of BF Wyoming. OTOH, if I wanted to install a coal fired power plant in my basement, I’m absolutely sure the State of Wyoming would provide subsidies and tax credits.

In the early-20th century, strikes and union battles were common in industrial centers throughout the US. But nothing compared to the class warfare of the West Virginia Mine Wars.

To celebrate the release of "Black Coal and Red Bandanas," an illustrated history from PM Press, we're exciting to host a virtual evening with author Raymond Tyler and illustrator Summer McClinton. They'll be joined by Shaun Slifer and Kenzie New-Walker of the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum!

From the new National Archives exhibit: Power & Light: Russell Lee's Coal Survey

Charlie Lingar and his son listen to their battery radio. He has worked for the company for fourteen years but was injured in a mine explosion and unable to work since. His three room house for which he pays $6.75 monthly has no running water, no toilet, no electricity. Four Mile, Bell County, Kentucky. 4 Sept 1946

And odd and perfect #Valentines Day gift: #Vintage Coal Miner's Aluminum Dinner Pail.

For years, I have been searching for a personally owned one because I wanted a connection to the Coal Miner. This is important because I want to document his life.

Yesterday, it was delivered and a complete surprise from a retired miner in Pennsylvania.

Check out the Alt Text for details on the vase and how the dinner pail was used.
