Massey Energy Idles Harlan County Mine
On Monday, Massey Energy idled its Darby Mine No. 1 in Harlan County, laying off 27 workers. The mine opened in September and was operated by Coalgood Energy Company. Massey says the decision was made due to a sluggish economy and the current coal market decline. This Darby mine is not the one involved in a 2006 explosion that killed five miners.
