Ed, taking a break from my tradition of merciless satire, I'd like
to say the following.

You have demonstrated that you believe what you say.

I don't happen to agree with it, but I'm an engineer, but I have worked
on digs (all you, be glad that you don't have tons of earth collapsing
upon you!) to pick up extra money.

not so long ago, a relatively unknown engineer came up with a gear set
which completely defied all gear equations used in the industry and many
wrote him off as a crack pot. (ie Torsin Differential)

What did he do? He didn't create a flame war on Usenet, he approached a
manufacturer and asked to prove himself under labratory conditions. He's
glad he did, royalties and all.

Just some advice, but I still think you're wrong, just from what
I know of anthracite coal, as much as an engineer who was required
to take a couple geology courses might know.
