Skip forward two hundred years into the Utopian
future... In the age when there is no manual labor and everyone is "educated," it
is hardly likely that Father will still be a rough man with enlarged hands who
likes to sit in shirt-sleeves...And there won't be a coal fire in the grate,
only some kind of invisible heater.

George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier 1937

The machines that keep us alive, and the machines
that make the machines, are all directly or indirectly
dependent on coal. The metabolism of the Western
world the coal-miner is second in importance only to
the man who ploughs the soil.
