Despite the initial progress, it cannot be ruled out that some unsafe coal mines are still in operation, and we will continue to strengthen our supervision and inspection.

The buildings are basically intact for all practical purpose. The site needs some work, but this is the identifying site of the state's worst coal mining disaster and that needs to be preserved.

You're seeing the effects of an electricity pricing mechanism that's tied to the cost of natural gas. Companies that are larger producers from coal and nuclear are getting a higher-than-anticipated benefit.

This is a story for all Americans, not just for those living in rural and inner city communities. And not just for health centers. We are the canary in the coal mine. We are the ones who can point to what's happening.

They transferred their coal plants to Constellation, so they are no longer regulated by the state of Maryland. It's the primary cause of the rate hike.

Americans are worried about pollution - oil trains running through their towns, fracking in their neighborhoods, coal dust in their air. They're worried about what the future will look like for their children if carbon pollution continues unchecked.

There's a lot at stake. This generation can transform coal used for burning - one of the dirtiest industrial activities on the planet - to, ironically, being one of the cleanest fuels from an air pollution standpoint.

The relevant questions now are: How do we move beyond coal? How do we bring new jobs to the coal fields and retrain coal miners for other work? How do we inspire entrepreneurialism and self-reliance in people whose lives have been dependent on the paternalistic coal industry?

It (sales in China) is growing extremely rapidly. It is our largest customer now by country, ... That market will continue to be our strongest market, and with iron prices and coking coal prices beginning to reflect the increase that was negotiated earlier, you can expect to see that China would continue to grow as a percentage (of sales).

It's not like we turned a hunk of coal into a diamond. This is a guy who had ability, but in junior they didn't allow him to play a positive role. We've just told him to work hard, do what we tell you, and the sky's the limit.

In Montana, West Virginia, and the rest of the United States, coal is definitely the electricity source of the foreseeable future.

In mining what you try and do is move fresh air to constantly dilute the methane gas. Methane is a potential fuel for an explosion in a mine. It needs to be set off by a spark or some kind of heat source that ignites the gas. Also, in coal mines you have coal dust created by grinding of the coal. There are other things. That coal dust is also potentially explosive.

If your goal is to reduce costs, then coal is a good idea. If the goal is a renewable fuel, coal is a bad idea. When greenhouse-gas emissions go up, environmentalists take note. Then you've got a problem.

In addition to the clean coal provisions, the energy conference agreement contains provisions instrumental in helping increase conservation and lowering consumption.

Clearly, there's no room for people working impaired in the coal mines. We work in fairly confined areas with large pieces of equipment, and there's no room for error.
