There are many small communities like that in the world. Built around a single industry far away from the big towns at the coast. When economy and/or technology change they inevitably fade away. All we realy can do for them is to help them get new jobs elsewhere (usualy the big town at the coast). Some may call this defeatism but I don't see what else we can do. Soon that coal can't be made to pay for anything.
