Increased operations in a coal mining town supports infrared heaters

In Lindytown, West Virginia, coal mining is part of the culture. Mining was responsible for creating Lindytown and its heritage, as practically every resident has a grandfather or great-grandfather that worked in the industry. Now, a local company, Massey Energy, is expanding its mining operation, and the residents are being paid to go along with the plan. Crews working in the cold mountaintops will need infrared heaters to remain comfortable and focused on their daily tasks.

The New York Times reports Massey Energy has bought many of the properties from the valley below its mining facility, while the residents are signing agreements that guarantee they will not sue the company in the future. Many of these Mountaineers are either retired miners or descendants of retired miners, so they were happy to support the expansion.

Construction workers and residents who are moving out of town will benefit from the use of infrared heaters, which produce almost no air pollution while providing a target-specific warmth. At an affordable cost of 14 cents per hour, Heat Storm devices enable homeowners and business supervisors to spend their money on more important items, such as moving supplies or mining equipment.
