I like how you agree with me because of course I'm right and then your brain does that thing where people like you realize you lost the argument but you have fucking pride man fucking pride, so then you type the most opposite thing that you possibly can. Unfortunately you didn't delete the previous sentence and now you sound like an incoherent schizophrenic.
Anyway now that we both agree that this country has no coal reserve and that coal is responsible for 40% of this country's energy grid supplies and that electricity is the single most important force in our society, I'm glad you now support my thesis that doctors and nurses are way way down the ladder of people we should honor during this crisis.
Here is the complete list of who we should honor during this crisis: Everyone who is doing their job and their job description doesn't include working through hazardous conditions not related to their jobs. So like grocery clerks, yes because when they got their job it didn't say you must work through a plague. Nurses on the other hand, no because their job description includes the working through the plague bit.
You know why coal miners are more important than "healthcare workers"? Because you can't put quotes around the former.

That 39% figure was in 2014. As of 2019 it is only 23%, largely replaced by natural gas.
The only reason so much of our country runs on coal is because we are retarded. Who else do we share that with... China? Every other wealthy nation is phasing it out because, guess what, people don't like lung cancer and mercury in the environment, and natural gas is more efficient.
In fact coal is so fucking dirty, so toxic and hazardous that coal miners and everyone else in the coal industry do us and themselves an incredible disservice with their work, what little of that work is even left. Point me to the nearest mineshaft so I can spit down it and hopefully hit some miners
