Not something to celebrate

Despite all the gloom and doom of coal industry projections that call for falling production from the Cowboy State, America’s coal heartland is expected to hit an astonishing 9 billion tons of coal produced in the last 25 years since 1998.
It’s a silver lining for a region that has been bleeding red ink of late.
Given the projections about cuts in coal production expected this year out of St. Louis-based coal behemoths Arch Resources Inc. and Peabody Energy Corp., and previous trends reported on overall coal volume in the first half of the year being down more than 20%, it’s likely that the 9 billion ton milestone could be reached in July.
