New Coal Prospects Seen by SCPA President Moody
J E Moody president of the Southern Coal Producers Association told the Kiwanis Club of Charleston that U S coal production could rise from 1 million tons annually to greatly higher figures as coal fuels advances in electric power, heating, and transportation. He cited 1956 export gains and outlined future research into converting coal to liquid and gaseous fuels, underground gasification, conveyor and slurry transport, and coal powered engines. Moody warned of cost pressures and the need for steady, funded scientific development to reach broader demand.
