Does the "Deep Mining" upgrade do anything in Iron Will mode? - To Do List Procrastination Quote

I'm currently playing Iron Will, and am at the point where I need tons of coal. Normally, the Deep Mining upgrade adds a coal per tick for each miner you have, however, since I don't have any kittens, I don't have any miners.

Does this upgrade have a hidden extra effect in Iron Will mode, like, say, meteors made of coal? Or is this upgrade completely useless if you don't have any miners?
