- It burns at the highest level of BTUs of all fossil fuels, 25 million BTUs of heat per ton.
- It’s very low in sulfur and volatile content compared to other competing fuels.
- It’s primarily mined on the surface, retrieving coal that was abandoned from deep mines underground by drag-line shovels, better known as strip mining.
- All Strip Mining Land is reclaimed and filled, regulated by the government.
