Bluefield, WV (BNN) -- Coal is king in southern West Virginia. Coal cars - as far as the eye can see - fill Bluefield's railroad yard Wednesday October 25, 2006. The Pocahontas coal seam in southern West Virginia boasts the cleanest, and highest BTU coal in the world.
 
The coal boom, thanks to the Bush administration's energy policy, is expected to continue for a long, long time.
