Industry Disputes 1985 Coal Production Goal
The 1986 coal production target of 1.2 billion tons faces criticism from industry leaders. West Virginia Coal Assn. officials and Gerald Gambs call the goal unrealistic, while Consolidation Coal Co. argues it could be met with solved mining and transport challenges. Prospective investments of about $22 billion and 125000 new miners are cited as needed to reach doubling production by 1985. The article also notes a lowered minimum age for the Summer Youth Employment Program to 14, expanding state job opportunities.
