We have got members gezegde

 We have got members who have discussed importing foreign coal. Now we are in a position where America, the Saudi Arabia of coal, is having to import foreign coal. It's ludicrous.

 Coal today currently represents only 0.02 per cent of revenues for the national government. Coal is not very significant in terms of economic production. However coal is important to other countries like the US, which consumes more than 900 million tons of coal each year.

 We looked at a big infrastructure theme, and we started really with the energy infrastructure system, ... We own coal companies that mine the coal. We own the rails that transport the coal. And we own the construction companies that build coal plants. Coal is half of our energy.

 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.

 Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 The farther you have to haul the coal, the more expensive it is. Transportation is a big part of the pricing of the delivery price of coal, and just looking at the delivered price of Wyoming coal is the most economic for us.

 The future of coal is clean. Of course, coal is presently very clean as well. Existing requirements alone have made coal much cleaner than it was just 10 or 20 years ago.

 One day I bumped into a group of coal miners from the Ozarks, wandering coal miners living a gypsy life... I started to speak with these coal miners, and became very interested in them.

 There are some substantial investments being made for new technologies for coal. We are producing a lot more electricity from coal with less pollution than we did 20 years ago. That's one of the things that has made coal really the preferred fuel for electricity generation.

 The National Coal Council is fortunate to have Michael Williams from the nation's largest coal-consuming state among its ranks. Michael is knowledgeable about the importance of low-cost, reliable electricity to economic prosperity and he is committed to continuing America's environment improvement.

 Any time you have a disruption, you have a loss in (coal) production. But I don't think this will be an event that shuts down the coal industry.

 The simple answer is: Oil prices make coal so much more competitive. The economics are all on coal.

 Closing of small coal mines won't affect the country's demand for coal.

 This has to be gradual. We cannot close the small coal mines completely because they produce too much coal.

 The demand for coal led us to make a conscious decision to place coal cars at the very heart of our business.
