It's the bad actors that give everyone a bad name. They should be shut down.

Keystone was a subsidiary of Eastern Associated Coal Corporation. I can't recall who bought out EACC, but I think it's part of Patriot now. Is Keystone Industries LLC an entity of Patriot Coal also?
The landscape of the coal bidness today is littered much like the aftermath of Hiroshima.

Interestingly. Jim Justice's dad was a contract surface mine operator (Bluestone Coal) for Keystone in McDowell County. His dad, the grandfather, was a foreman, then chief electrician at Koppesrton, near Beckley, another EACC operation.
