Mining picture in Wyoming reviewed
The Associated Press reports a possible one third cut in Wyoming coal shipments if a nationwide walkout by United Mine Workers occurs. Wyoming mines near Kemmerer Rock Springs Hanna Gillette Sheridan and Rosebud would be most affected though some producers would escape. Utilities hold about 60 days of Wyoming coal supply while national figures show 19 states contribute less than 5 percent each.

NPPD faces coal supply risk from nationwide miners strike
A spokesper son for the Nebraska Public Power District says the coal miners strike could run 11 weeks without affecting NPPD production, with Bellevue and Hallam stations holding 80 days of coal unless cold weather hits early. If coal runs out, NPPD may rely on noncoal plants or pricier fuels. In South Africa, a major platinum mine near Johannesburg plans 80 percent output soon, supplying GM catalysts. A cloudburst caused a 30-foot mud dam breach at a mine shaft leaving 2,000 to 4,000 miners underground, some escaping via an adjoining shaft while others remained trapped.
