Message from the ACC Communications Director

We also turn to our partners at the American Coal Ash Association to review the latest news on the (STILL) pending EPA coal ash regulations. Bipartisan pressure is building in Congress and many have taken a bold stand against EPA desires to regulate coal ash under Subtitle C of RCRA.

They are encouraging the EPA to consider the profound impacts the wrong regulatory decisions could have on coal, recycling, and the construction industry.

Once again, we’ve worked hard to bring you a diverse and interesting group of authors who will perk your interests, challenge your perceptions of energy, and motivate you to get involved in the fight to support coal.

With so many changes occurring around us, the industry needs to stay on its toes. While so many remain committed to our demise by any means, we need to stay educated and be willing to boldly defend the foundation of half of our country’s energy, hundreds of thousands of jobs, and multiple billions in benefits to our economy.

We’re committed to helping you move forward in your work and to getting accurate information out on coal. Join us.

36 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, with an annual per capita income of $2,900.

But business is business, and Mongolia is currently weighing all offers

In 2006 Mongolia’s Mineral Law was amended to increase government royalties and licensing fees, reduce tax incentives, set duration terms for exploration licenses, and provide for up to 50 percent government ownership of strategically important resources when jointly funded by the state and private investors. On 25 August 2009 the Ulsyn Ikh Khural (State Great Hural, or Parliament) finally repealed the 68 percent windfall profit tax, effective from January 1, 2011, setting the [...]

“These brave, hardworking men and women go into the dark bowels of America to give us lights and fuel our economic needs.”

Some people are not realistic. I observed a group singing “save our mountains, save our trees” while playing wooden guitars.

We will continue to battle vigorously and unapologetically for coal and America’s coal miners. May the winds of change bring support to America’s most important energy industry.

Pray for these heroes – our American COAL miners – who stand ready to save America. These brave, hardworking men and women go into the dark bowels of America to give us lights and [...]
