Oh, the irony!

An electric vehicle needed some coal miners to get where it needed to go last week.

The vehicle broke down Friday near  Mettiki Coal access road on US 48, in Tucker County, West Virginia, according to WBOY-TV.

A Facebook post from Randy Smith described the incident.

Smith is a Republican state senator who represents the region where the incident took place, according to the West Virginia state Legislature website. He’s also the safety coordinator at Mettiki Coal, his Facebook page states.

    Electric vehicles generally need coal miners to get anywhere

    No more ironic than oil field or refinery workers helping the driver of a gas car that ran out of gas.

      Except that the owner of a gas car isn't helping to put the oilfield workers out of a job.

    Well, coal miners seem to have limited memory or common sense. The United Mine Workers backed Obama who promptly closed the coal industry. Wonder how many pipeline workers backed Biden? Me, as a mine worker, I would have walked past the car and laughed.
