According to Dr. Deskins, Director of West Virginia University Bureau of Business and Economic Research, coal mining accounts for 37,000 direct jobs in America. Coupled with another 99,000 indirect and induced jobs created by capital intensive mining operations, almost 136,000 00 Americans earn an estimated $10.6 billion in wages from coal mining alone. Coal mining operations contribute $2.3 billion annually to state and local tax collections that support all levels of government services.2 The overall impacts grow exponentially when you add coal plant workers and economics into the economic modelling. Coal mining and coal fired electric facilities together account for over 381,000 total jobs and over $261 Billion dollars of annual economic activity.3 Respectfully submitted on behalf of the following state coal groups comprising America&#8217;s Coal Associations: American Coal Council, Energy Policy Network, Illinois Coal Association, Reliable Energy, Inc., Kentucky Coal Association, Pennsylvania Coal Alliance, Montanna Coal Council, Rocky Mountain Mining Institute, Texas Mining Association, Utah Mining Association, Wyoming Mining Association, Women&#8217;s Mining Coalition and the West Virginia Coal Association.<\/p><p>If implemented, the final carbon rule will have a devastating impact on America&#8217;s coal states. In 2023 over 426 million tons of coal were delivered from mining operations to our nation&#8217;s electric generating facilities.<sup>1<\/sup> Each one of these power plants is imperiled by EPA&#8217;s preposterous carbon rule. If forced to close by the implementation of the final carbon rule, a significant market for domestic coal will be lost.<\/p><p>Gone along with those baseload power plants will be a substantial number of mining and other support jobs throughout the economy.
