want the plant back, with everything it had? or what you re going to have. i will be dumbfounded if you find anybody other than for pure sentimental reasons saying i d rather have a coal plan. i ll end by telling you another quick story. when we move from scranton, when coal died in scranton, everything died in scranton. and my dad wasn t a coal miner. my great grandfather was a mining engineer but my dad was in sales, and there was no work so we left to go down to delaware. i told you where those oil plants were. but i remember driving home when you take the trolley in scranton, going out north washington and adams avenue, within 15 blocks we didn t live in the neighborhood, the most prestigious neighborhood in the region, in the town where the scrantons and other good decent people lived, there was a you d go by a wall that my recollection was somewhere between 15 and 18 feet tall. and it went essentially a city block. and you could see the coal piled up to the very top o
