by Darrell Proctor from POWER Magazine on (#6WTFD)
U.S. production of coal has continued to decline since peaking in 2008, according to a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The EIA-on the same day earlier this month when President Trump signed an executive order designed to increase U.S. coal production and coal-fired power generation-released data showing the U.S. produced 578 million short tons (MMst) of coal in 2023, or less than half of the amount produced in 2008.
