American coal is abundant. According to government data, the United States alone has the largest coal reserves of any country in the world. With approximately 486.1 billion short tons, America's coal resources make us the "Saudi Arabia" of coal, providing nearly half of our nation's electricity generating capacity and the raw materials that U.S. steel workers need to stay on the job. The current "war on coal" not only compromises the reliability of our electricity grid, but it diminishes the hiring potential for U.S. steel at a time of record unemployment.
