This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's a museum. It doesn't say "coal mining is a great technology of the future". It says "here's this thing of the past we used to do". Or do you also expect a paleontological museum to only employ dinosaurs?

Yeah if anything I'd expect a coal mining museum to be way more aware of the impact of their energy source and be more likely to switch to solar.
