Then there is the issue of women. I haven't had a woman in years and am fine with a monkish life devoted to coal. Women serve no purpose for me aside from helping take care of the home and, in the future, helping take care of me as I age. I have no need for sex or emotional companionship. But I would like a woman to be my caretaker and the caretaker of the places I live in the future. And American women don't fit the bill. They're much too mentally ill due to the damage feminism has done to them.
If I go to Indonesia, I can find a good women to take care of me and my home as I age in return for providing her with financial security. That sort of thing is normal there. As to Russia, I have no idea what Russia women are like. If anyone can clue me in, please do.
Long story short, when my parents pass -- the only people with whom I am close -- then I have no reason to be in the USA and many reasons to be somewhere else, some place where the coal still flows and I can find a homemaker and caretaker as I age. I don't mind being an outsider and being lonely. And if I married such a woman as I could find, say, in Indonesia, I'd be marrying into a family anyway, and would thereby acquire a social support network, with benefits and obligations. I would even use my money to ensure her family's wellbeing, as a good man should for his wife, if he is capable of it.
I would stay in America if this country had a change of heart about coal and just forego a woman. I almost became a monk in my youth anyway. But I won't think such a change of heart is coming. Trillions of dollars are now invested in "green energy" and natural gas. So the show is over for most coal production in the US; thermal makes up some 80% of the market. My future, then, naturally lies elsewhere.

Any specific areas of the province that your interested in? Most of BC's current coal production in the far south east and the eastern border with Alberta. Tumbler Ridge and Sparwood are the major operating communities servicing these projects, which are massive. Both regions are primarily metallurgical coal, with a combined lifespan (including alberta side of the border) of around 900 years worth of resource.

I am more versed in the far eastern coal mines such as Tumbler Ridge then the others, the coal beds are massive, some beds being well over 100 ft thick in places. Its very pure / clean coal in comparison to other sources, with little clay or sand interbedding mixed across the resource. These deposits are very uniform with no faulting or disturbances, though some beds into the Alberta side tend to be on a 45* angle making them less developed then their BC counter parts. I do also know a bit about one of the largest coal deposits in BC, on the Klappan River watershed. Its huge, possibly bigger than Tumbler Ridge's massive beds, but is unlikely to be operated in the near future due to environmental activism. Coal bed methane is also prevalent in these deposits, but little to no serious work has been put into its economic relevance. Another under developed coal region currently being looked at is the Telkwa range near Smithers BC, this coal is a mix of metallurgical and bunker fuel coal, which has sparked pushback from communities. Coal beds also appear in the far northern reaches of the province, but that coal is lower quality and of no economic benefit.
