About Coal:

• Coal will fuel an estimated 50% of U.S. electricity generation
  through 2025.
• An average American uses 20 pounds of coal a day in the
  form of electricity.
• Far more abundant than domestic oil or natural gas, coal
  represents 95% of the nation's fossil energy reserves.
• Coal is the most abundant fuel available today
  with the lowest cost per million Btu.
• The coal industry has reclaimed more than 2 million acres
  of mined lands in the past 25 years – restoring natural habitats
  larger than Delaware or Rhode Island.

  our inland waterways.
