The deepest coal mine in the world is over 5000 feet below ground in the United Kingdom. Many in the U.S. are over 1200 feet deep, most of they are closed, and now some others are. There is a mine in Alabama, which is a coal mine deep vertical shaft in North America, with operations to 2140 meters below the surface. It is difficult for coal mines in the State of Washington, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Alabama to compete with economies of scale of the incredible Gillette WY above ground mine.

Things in the mining industry have changed significantly in the United States over the past 25 recent years, the only question is, did they change too fast?
