It is a great opportunity to get the message out that coal is and will remain the economic bedrock of the state’s economy. This past year’s edition included production, employment, coal severance data, membership profiles, editorial features and other key information.
This year’s publication will be a bit different from those in the past. It will be a 48-page, glossy magazine format similar to our Coal Facts publication.

With its bill delegating the regulation of coal ash to the states stalled in the Senate, the House of Representatives added it on April 18 as an amendment to the Surface Transportation Extension Act.
"After fighting hard on this issue for over a year, I'm grateful for my colleagues' support," said Rep. David B. McKinley, R-W.Va., original sponsor of the coal ash bill. "The chance to save thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in costs now rests in the Senate's hands."
The House transportation extension, which would extend funding from the federal Highway Trust Fund through September, is the House's response to a Senate transportation bill.
The measure was approved by a vote of 293-127, with West Virginia's three representatives in voting in favor.
