Indiana Coal Industry Produces Majority Come From Strip Mines
Dr. Wier notes Indiana coal is mined mainly in nine west central and southwestern counties with about 75 percent from strip mines and 25 percent underground. Electric utilities consume more than half, railroads use about five percent, and other industries together take around one fourth while domestic use is about one fifth and chemical use under one percent. The state has vast remaining reserves based on 17 percent recoverable and a slow rate of production, with potential future years of output.
