Coal Prices to Stay High Says United Mine Workers Leader
Vice President Thomas Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America warns there will be no coal relief this winter and prices will stay elevated for at least six to eight months, with overall prices higher for the next two years. He cites a mix of demand, export needs, and an anthracite strike that disrupted supply as driving factors. Railroad capacity and rolling stock shortages prevent rapid relief, and both mine workers and anthracite operators expect continued tight markets despite no mine shortages.
