- There are approximately 600 power plants (1,600 units) and 1,100 manufacturing facilities using coal in the U.S., according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
- Coal accounts for about 33 percent of U.S. total energy production and 22 percent of total energy consumption.
- Power plants being built today emit 90 percent less pollutants (SO2, NOx, Particulates, mercury) than the plants they replace from the 1970s, according the National Energy Technology Laboratory.
- Regulated emissions from coal-based electricity generation have decreased overall by nearly 40 percent since the 1970s while coal use has tripled, according to government statistics.
- U.S. coal operations have reclaimed more than 2.2. million acres of mined land over the past 25 years.
- Since 1978, U.S. coal mines have paid more than $7 billion to reclaim mines that were abandoned prior to laws requiring reclamation.
- Approximately five million acres of land have been mined in the U.S. to produced coal; and most of the land not under active mining has been or is being reclaimed to the standards set by law.
