Coal
Coal is an industrial that show to brings together all kind of coal mining equipment and service under one roof.
There are two primary method of mining coal surface mining and underground mining. There are 1000 surface mines, and more than 1000 underground mines in the US. Underground mining is more difficult and requires more miners, but much of our best coal is underground.
Mining has become much safer and more efficient over the years. In 1980 there were over 220.000 miners in the country US. Today there are fewer than 100.000 miners in the country. But while 1980 production was about 800.000 tons. Today the production over 1 billion tons with fewer than half the number of miners.
In recent years a surface mining in Wyoming has mushroomed, making that state leading coal producer at almost 300.000 tons per year. Virginia and Kentucky the traditional leader with both surface mining and underground mining, each produce arround 170.000 tons per years.
