Coal-fired power plants have been in operation in the United States since 1882. The first plant opened in New York City. Coal-fired power plants were the leading source of electricity in the United States for much of the 20th century. However, their popularity began to decline in the 1970s as more efficient and less polluting power …

The United States mined over 725 million tons of coal in 2016, and an estimated 30% of the electricity comes from coal that has been mined and processed. There isn't just one type of coal though, and the way the coal is processed or goes through coal drying and what it is used for depends on what classification it is. Types of Coal Peat
