The U.S. coal mining industry 2005-2013
01/27/2009
The U.S. coal mining industry surged with the demand for metallurgical coal from the Chinese steel industry. Prices reached a high of $330 after the floods in Australia's Queensland coal producing region in 2011. Now prices have dropped by half with the return of Australian coal and the slowdown in China. This is resulting in layoffs in the coal industry and hard times in W. Virginia and the Appalachian coal mining region in 2012.

Australia Debates: Does a Warming Planet Really Need More Coal?
The New York Times 10/14/2017
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
