US Coal Stockpiles Near Historic Lows

Once again, let's make American dependent!!!

In September 2021, coal stockpiles at U.S. power plants fell to just over 80 million tons. This marked the smallest quantity in more than four decades, when in March 1978 power sector coal stocks hit 77 million tons.
Orr says environmental groups and state agencies are pressuring utility companies to curb their use of coal plants. He added that environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards have also begun to limit accessible capital for coal-related projects.
“There was a political decision to move away from coal that physics isn’t really able to deliver on,” he said.
Not the best written article I've ever seen, but the message that the coal supply (and the jobs that go with it) are being intentionally sabotaged is clear.

Dear Democrats, THIS is why Manchin fricked you over. One good turn deserves another.

Hmmm....what was going on in 1978?
Oh, that was Jimmy Carter wearing a sweater on TV and telling American's to bundle up for the winter.

How many coal plants are still out there. I would expect to see less stockpiles when there is less plants to use the coal.

About 600 plants still active. This isn't about power plants alone. The US exports coal to other nations.

No matter what any politician says or regulation that gets curbed or stopped - coal is dying and will be nearly dead by 2030ish
You see, the great workaround was through shareholder resolutions pressuring utilities to commit to net zero goals
