Rejoicing for our friends in coal, we are!

Our nation's reliance on coal can't simply be erased.

88% of mines in the U.S. worked without a lost time accident last year! ~ Enjoying an informative presentation from Bruce Watzman of the National Mining Association, at the PCMIA/SME annual meeting.

There are so many misconceptions about the coal-based industryand your voice is one of the best ways to make sure people have the right information. It is ener...gy awareness month, after all. So find one person and share just one fact about coal-based electricity to start making a difference. Need a jump-start? Try this one: From 1970 to 2015, emissions from coal-fueled power plants have been reduced by 92%. See more

A WIN for the mining industry you might have missed amongst other news from the Supreme Court rulings... "SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST EPA ON POLLUTION RULES" ... Link to Washington Examiner article in comments...

Bill T from Arizona nailed it. Coal miners ARE the fabric of America! Proud to know you all.

Stay warm friends... "Interesting infographic from TVA, noting that of the top-10 energy days in their history, five occurred this past January. And the fuel used most to meet TVA customer demand on those record-setting days? Coal. Affordable. Abundant. Reliable. Coal. A critical part of TVA's - and the nation's - diverse generation portfolio." - Alpha Natural Resources

The EPA has no plans to let the government shutdown ultimately affect new coal-related regulations.

Thanks to CONSOL Energy Inc. for their statement and part in bringing awareness to back-door regulatory controls on the energy industry.

Thanks to Alpha Natural Resources for spreading awareness of the latest initiative that will weaken the U.S. economy and leave us dependent on foreign, unstable energy sources. Even in these non-election years, we need to keep speaking up to make sure our representatives hear our opinions loud and clear! Please share and educate!
