Coal has a Role in Our Energy Future

American coal has a key role in our energy future.

Ever wonder why?

Our 200-year supply makes coal one of our most abundant energy sources, topping the Middle East’s oil reserves. And at one-third the cost of other fossil fuels, coal-based electricity provides affordable power during even the toughest economic times.

What’s more, in the last 30 years, we’ve used technology to drive emissions reductions, ensuring that we meet the challenge of reducing greenhouse gasses without putting our economy at risk.

With a recent study finding that energy costs are eating up more and more of American family budgets, coal’s role in our affordable, low-carbon energy future has never been more important. Learn how coal-based energy helps American families keep the lights on and reduce budget burdens.
