Sorry to hear of the health issues of those close to you.

Anyone who has ever heated a home with coal can testify to how dirty it is. The sooner it is eliminated the better.

Steam coal is going to lose out to renewables on price. The only way it will survive is if Trump somehow could mandate its use despite being higher cost.

Coking coal for making steel is likely to be around indefinitely unless it is outlawed, but it is a much smaller market.
