America and the world need Wyoming Coal…

America's energy security depends on strong domestic coal supply chains. ⚡⛏️

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting 13 coal plants across 10 states and critical export infrastructure to strengthen coal production, transportation, and delivery nationwide.

The investment will help preserve more than 14 GW of coal-fired power capacity—enough to power more than 14 million American homes—while supporting mining jobs, port operations, and reliable energy supply chains. 🚢⚙️

DOE is also investing in the West Gateway Terminal Project in California, which will expand U.S. coal export capacity, strengthen national security, and create new opportunities for American coal producers.

America relies on Wyoming Coal!

U.S. coal production in 2025 remains heavily concentrated in just a handful of states, with Wyoming continuing to dominate the industry by a massive margin.

The state produced roughly 233 million short tons of coal, accounting for more than half of America’s total coal output. Most of Wyoming’s production comes from the Powder River Basin, one of the largest coal mining regions on Earth.

West Virginia ranked second with 75.3 million short tons, driven largely by metallurgical coal used in global steelmaking. Kentucky followed with 51.7 million short tons, while Pennsylvania produced 40.3 million short tons thanks to its long-established Appalachian mining sector.

Illinois rounded out the top five with 17.5 million short tons, supported by the Illinois Basin’s high-sulfur coal reserves.

Combined, these five states produced the overwhelming majority of U.S. coal in 2025, highlighting how concentrated America’s coal industry has become despite ongoing shifts toward alternative energy sources.

America needs Wyoming coal!

Coal remains a cornerstone of U.S. energy security as electricity demand rises. As Peabody Energy CEO James Grech put it, coal is “quite simply, America’s largest energy asset”, offering scale, reliability and long-term value that will remain central to the nation’s energy mix for decades.
