Pittsburgh Coal Field Likely to Last 80 to 100 Years
Pennsylvania state geologist George H. Ashley told the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers that the great Pittsburgh coal bed covering about 6,000 square miles in southwest Pennsylvania and extending into Ohio and West Virginia may be depleted within 80 to 100 years. He said stabilization efforts could move the industry from red ink to black and maintain prices, with an estimated 16,000,000,000 tons remaining and possibly above two dollars per ton. U S Bureau of Mines chief engineer George S. Rice projected the nation’s coal reserve lasting about 300 years.
