• The Origin of Coal: Driving America's Economy

Coal is the primary source of energy used in the United States today. It accounts for one-third of the nation's total energy production. It is the source of 50 percent of the total electricity generated nationwide. It is by far the most abundant American energy source and it accounts for 90 percent of America's fossil energy reserves. During the Industrial Revolution, coal was the fuel that powered the transformation of the United States from an agricultural society into the greatest economic power in the world. Today, it is the direct and indirect source of hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic impact. Abundant and affordable, coal-fired electricity is the life force of the American economy. It is America's best friend. American coal was used 1,000 years ag...

• Chambers: Epa Chief Must Allow Coal Permits

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency needs to consider jobs and economic impacts as the agency continues with its regulatory actions related to coal production and coal use as an energy source. That is the position that has been taken by many elected leaders in West Virginia, and now by 17 local chambers of commerce in West Virginia. In a joint letter mailed to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, our 17 local chambers are calling on the agency to finalize its permit reviews and provide coal companies and the miners they employ with a transparent regulatory process that is based on science and that balances environmental protection with job preservation and economic well-being in our region.

• Biofuels: Green Energy or Greenwashing?

Even Brazilian sugarcane, touted as the world's model for conversion from fossil fuels to sustainable "green energy," has its downside. The energy yield appears beyond question. It is claimed that ethanol from sugarcane may produce as much as eight times as much energy as it takes to grow and process. But a recent World Wildlife Fund report for the International Energy Agency raises serious questions about this approach to future energy independence. It turns out that 80% of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions come not from cars, but from deforestation - the loss of embedded carbon dioxide when forests are cut down and burned. A hectare of land may save 13 tons of carbon dioxide if it is used to grow sugarcane, but the same hectare can absorb 20 tons of CO2 if it remains forested. If suga...
