How strong is your community?
At American Coal Council, people matter. This summer, we got to reconnect with familiar faces and make new friends at our annual meeting in Park City, Utah. Things change fast, but one thing stays the same: the strength of this industry comes from the people behind it. From the mine to the boardroom to Capitol Hill, relationships keep us connected, informed, and moving forward.
Here’s to the people who make this space more than just an industry!
This week on #NMA_OnOurMines, NMA President and CEO @NMA_NolanRich discusses Freeport-McMoRan’s potential molybdenum expansion in Colorado, a new $100 million U.S. coal export agreement and a proposed federal mining royalty bill that could raise costs for domestic producers.
Mining companies remain bullish on lithium despite price volatility, debate grows over the future of small modular nuclear reactors and a Wall Street Journal editorial warns that delaying permitting reform could jeopardize a bipartisan deal. #NMA_MiningMinute
As Coal Week comes to a close, we’re recognizing the miners, families and communities that have powered America for generations. Coal continues to support reliable electricity, thousands of family-sustaining jobs, domestic manufacturing and billions in U.S. exports, underscoring its enduring role in America’s economy and energy security.

From Utah to markets around the world, getting coal where it needs to go takes more than mining. It takes the infrastructure, logistics, and expertise to keep resources moving.
Savage helps connect Utah’s coal industry to global markets, coordinating the transportation that links American energy resources with customers overseas. Behind every shipment is a network of people and operations working together to keep the supply chain moving.
Wyoming leaders are pushing back against California’s latest move to block the proposed Oakland coal export terminal, arguing the project would give American coal producers greater access to global markets. Backed by $75 million in federal funding, the terminal could open a new West Coast export route for U.S. coal while supporting jobs, energy security and growing international demand for reliable power.

Wyoming will use every tool at its disposal to defend its energy producers from California's regulatory moves
California Governor Gavin Newsom will spend more than $230 billion on a train that may never run, yet he won’t let a single trainload of Wyoming coal reach a port taxpayers already funded.
