I think you don't know coal miners. There's a culture around it, their great great grandfathers did it. The one's who didn't want black lung left. The ones who got blacklung left, and the ones who got laid off left.
The remaining coal miners are just thankful to have a job. You can't tell them anything. You need to show them that it's a viable option in their area. Start with the unemployed. Debates are useless.
