Great to speak with the @KentuckyCoal! Coal keeps the lights on in Kentucky, producing over 60% of electricity in our Commonwealth. I’ll keep fighting to unleash coal to create jobs, lower costs, and power us into the future!

Global coal demand is rising, and U.S. producers are well positioned to meet it. India is considering adding as much as 150 GW of coal capacity, while U.S. coal exports through August climbed 8.6%, with India taking 18.1 million short tons. As electricity demand grows worldwide, American coal can play an even larger role in supporting reliable, affordable energy and strengthening export markets.

Utah is showing the value of keeping reliable coal generation on the grid. While U.S. electricity prices have risen 40% on average since 2020, Utah ratepayers could see a $375 million decrease this year, with coal still providing nearly half of the state’s electricity. As demand grows, existing coal capacity continues to offer an important affordability and reliability advantage. Read this week's Count on Coal blog for more: countoncoal.org/2026/10/keep…
