2012 Expected to be a Record Year for Coal Exports
Coal exports are expected to exceed record levels this year, according to the Energy Information Administration. By the end of the year, the country is expected to have exported 125-133 million tons of coal—which shatters the previous record of 113 million tons set in 1981. This is largely due to a very strong first six months of the year, and the EIA notes that since then, the global demand for American coal has been slightly waning.
