Up through the end of World War 2, much of the East Coast used Anthracite Coal for home heating; many businesses too. Although " Hard " Coal burned with little soot or ash, and quite HOT too, the switch to more convenient ( and cleaner ) Heating Oil, then later Natural Gas, spelled the end of the Anthracite Coal industry centered in N.E. Pennsylvania. The Knox Mine disaster in 1959 finished off the mines due to flooding from an illegal hard coal salvage operation.
