A Washington, DC, couple left stranded after their electric car ran out of battery was saved by none other than coal miners who were working nearby. Despite the ongoing push toward energy-efficient vehicles, the guys were more than happy to push the stranded car to the mine to get it recharged.
West Virginia State Senator Randy Smith (R-Tucker)—who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy, Industry, and Mining and is also a safety coordinator at Mettiki Coal, which operates the mine—recounted the incident on social media. And the response to the post has been phenomenal.
