Somewhere I heard someone say something like we don't vote for Biden or Trump, we vote for coal. It's hard to convince single-issue voters when that single issue is the only thing they see every day.
The problem is the government doesn't want to help the people who will be out of a job, because that would be a "handout", and everybody knows that handouts are bad. We really have to pull out all the stops and spare no expense to stop this climate catastrophe.
And the problem with the area is that there isn't a good fall back to rely on. And, since the land isn't valuable for commercial farming, people aren't as likely to sell the family farm for opportunities elsewhere.
