January 7, 2020 - “The coal industry is headed for total destruction unless we all act,” said Bill Reid, Managing Editor of CoalZoom. “If what’s left of the US coal industry is to be saved, Obama’s EPA CO2 endangerment finding must be overturned quickly and we ask everyone to join us to help fund our efforts to save coal.”

Coal production is falling to 601 million tons this year reflecting continued idling and closing of coal mines. Within 10 years production will fall to about 300 million tons or less as coal power plants are closed in the name of reducing CO2 levels, unless we act.

To stop this destruction, CoalZoom has teamed up with respected industry leader, Fred Palmer, and internationally renowned scientist, Dr. Craig Idso, in the campaign “Saving US Coal” with the single goal of overturning the CO2 endangerment finding.

“It is now crystal clear that the overturning of the CO2 endangerment finding is vital but we need everyone in the industry to help by contributing to the effort and making a donation.” said Reid.

The CoalZoom campaign was launched in November and four videos have been released with another on the way. The legal filing is planned for February when more donations come in. The progress with “Saving US Coal” and the videos can be seen here.

“Everyone has a straightforward choice to make,” said Reid. “We can either sit and do nothing or we can stand and fight for our coal industry that has helped make America great. I ask you to stand up with us and join the fight by making a donation to “Saving US Coal” by January 31. A form can be found here for your use to make it easy to do.

“Thank you!”
