A small community in Utah has recently been notified that the coal industry will be coming to an end. For many, the coal industry is the only job out there. Coal is basically is how majority of the population is employed. New laws and regulations is what is now creating this problem in the coal industry and the government wants to move towards cleaner and more environmentally friendly energy sources. Many people in this community can't wrap their heads around this new idea because the coal industry has been around for a hundred plus years. Now many coal workers will now have to retire early or look for other jobs when this coal industry closes down in around 2015.
