93% of Coal Consumed Used for Generating Electricity
1300 Coal-Fired Units in Operation at 560 Plants
In 2014, 868 Million Short Tons Consumed to Produce 39% of
Electricity Coal Use Declining – Slow Growth in
Demand for Electricity, Price Competition, Growth of Renewables,
Environmental Regulations 5
Major Source of Energy – Increased from 38% in 1950 to
45% in 1975 Declined to 40% - Energy Crisis of
1970s
Stable through 1990s . Starting in 2004, Prices Increased
Increased Production Starting in 2009 & Decreased Imports
