Fortunately, there were some people with common sense on hand to help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>As a few coal miners came to assist, it was soon realized that the vehicle could not be moved by a tow truck since the bottom of the car was all plastic with nothing to hook onto.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t say this with any certainty of course, however I suspect that solid bottom is designed to protect the battery and other systems under the car. If it needs to be towed, then it requires a flatbed truck, utilizing a proven energy technology called \u201cGasoline\u201d to haul it away. It appears that there wasn\u2019t one present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>With few options left, the coal miners worked with the driver to push the vehicle up the road to the mine where the traveler could recharge his car.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>If you look closely you can see our coal stockpile and load out in the background,\u201d Smith noted as the five coal miners and driver are seen pushing the vehicle in a photo. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m guessing the driver is the guy in shorts and tennis shoes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>While electric vehicles have recently symbolized an elitist shift away from natural energy resources such as coal, natural gas, and oil to renewable energy sources, that narrative was set aside on Friday as the coal miners were more than willing to help the unfortunate traveler. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>This just shows you coal miners are good people and will go out of their way to help anyone friend or foe,\u201d said Smith.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m honestly glad they ended up where they could get some help because they couldn\u2019t get a tow truck to come and this is out in the middle of nowhere.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the problem with the Washington Elites.
