I've got a question about coal mining, and I thought I'd ask here for lack of anywhere better. <g> My impression is that these days, most US-produced anthracite coal (aka "hard" coal) is mined in the Western states, and most of the coal mined in the East is bituminous or "soft" coal. Am I correct in this? If not, what's the actual distribution of anthracite coal mines vs. bituminous coal mines? Thx in advance for any replies I get. Jon W.
