Coal employs fewer people nationally than textile does in my tri-county area. Nobody works in coal anymore and most of the people who claim to be "coal miners" or "coal households" are people who either haven't worked in the field in ages or who had parents/grandparents who long ago worked in the mines.
Even if it did "come back", it's not going to mean any meaningful change in the quality of life of those who obsess over it.
