infOrmative technical sessiOns arranged at bluefield

Traditional features of the Bluefield Coal Show include the excellent Technical Sessions (see page 10). These have been planned by Technical Session Chair Bill Reid, himself no stranger to the Greater Bluefield Chamber of Commerce as he produced and chaired the highly successful series of Bluefield Coal Symposiums in 2008/12.

“I have been most fortunate in having not one but two careers connected with our great coal industry,” said Reid, who is Managing Editor of CoalZoom.com and Coal Miner Exchange and is well known in coal circles, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to put my experience to the test in arranging speakers for our Technical Sessions highlighting Keynote Addresses by the Presidents of the three surrounding Coal Associations: Bill Raney

from West Virginia, Harry Childress from Virginia, and Tyler White from Kentucky.”

In the mining machinery industry, Reid’s first career included both President of American Longwall of Abingdon, VA and President of EIMCO

here in Bluefield, VA. American Longwall grew from 5 employees to 200

under his direction and EIMCO had over 300 employees producing room and pillar mining equipment.

In 2004, Reid began a new career entering the publishing field and founded the highly successful Coal News which quickly became coal’s foremost publication. In 2009, CoalZoom.com

was launched for the digital world and this became coal’s foremost digital publication. Last year, the publication Coal Miner Exchange was acquired, digitized, and paired with CoalZoom.com both as subsidiaries of Coal News, Inc.

The Coal News team includes Heather Turner, who for many years has been assistant editor and a vital part of the organization. “I’ve been with Coal News since the beginning except for a very short time and I’m very pleased to have this great opportunity to serve the coal industry,” said Turner. “Things are picking up and better days are getting closer for all of us. I am manning our booth 914 and am very excited about this year’s Coal Show.”

Not long ago liberals hailed the demise of coal as inevitable while the Obama Administration strangled the industry with regulation. But don’t look now, Tom Steyer, because coal is showing signs of a revival and breathing eco-nomic life into West Virginia and other coal states.

Former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy proclaimed in 2015 that coal “is no longer marketable.” She planned to be the lead undertaker. The Obama Administration worked tirelessly to fulfill her mission and may have succeeded had Hillary Clinton become President. “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of work,” the 2016 Democratic nominee famously promised.

Yet the Trump Presidency seems to have lifted animal spirits and coal. Weekly coal production has increased by 14.5% nation-wide over last year with even bigger bumps in West Virginia (19%), Pennsylvania (19.7%) and Wyoming (19.8%). Exports were up 58% during the first quarter from last year. Apparently coal can be marketable if regulators let it be.

The Obama Administration first targeted coal consumption with rules on mercury emissions and ash disposal that would have made it next to impossible to build a new coal-burning power plant. Then came the 2015 Clean Power Plan that would have forced the existing fleet of coal plants into early retire-ment.

Finally, the Obama anti-coal war-riors sought to shut down coal’s export potential. Thick-seamed coal on federal land in the Powder River Basin overlying Wyoming and Montana is relatively clean-burning and inexpensive to mine. The Obama Interior Department

suspended new coal leases on federal land last winter and then reassessed royalty pay-ments—thereby reducing investment and profitability. In December came the coup de grâce: Interior’s stream rule usurping state authority over permitting.

President Trump has called a cease fire to his predecessor’s “war on coal.” In Febru-ary he signed a resolution repealing the stream rule under the Congressional Review Act.

The Supreme Court stayed the Clean Power Plan in February 2016, and EPA Ad-ministrator Scott Pruitt is dismantling the power rule as well as the ash and mercury rules. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has re-

opened leases and rescinded the royalty revaluation.

Meanwhile, coal is becoming more competitive as a fuel source relative to natural gas, whose price has risen 63% since March 2016 amid an expanding market. The Energy Information Ad-ministration says the U.S. will be a net exporter of natural gas this year.

Growing pipeline networks have boosted gas exports to Mexico and are providing new domestic outlets for gas trapped in the Marcellus and Utica Shales. Pipeline export capacity to Mexico is expected to nearly double by 2019. Several interstate pipe-lines are under review to deliver gas to the Midwest, eastern Canada and Gulf Coast for export. Liquefied natural gas exports have increased six-fold in the last year, and five new terminal projects are expected to be completed within three years. While coal and natural gas compete as electric power fuels, they can both prosper if energy mar-kets expand.

This is all horrifying to the climate-change lobby, but they might note that U.S. coal

exports are rising to countries that claim climate-change virtue. Exports to France increased 214% during the first quarter of this year amid a nuclear power plant out-age. Other European countries like Germany and the U.K. are utilizing U.S. coal to stabilize unreliable renewable sources and make up for electric capacity lost from the shutdown of nuclear plants. First-quarter coal exports were up 94% to Germany and 282% to the U.K. Et tu, Angela Merkel?

cOal industry says it’s bacK, lauds ‘unshacKling’ Of Obama-era regulatiOns

The coal industry is making a comeback, the National Mining Association says, in part because the Trump administration is “unshackling” the industry of “myriad regu-lations” from the Obama presidency.

“Attribute part of the nascent coal revival to the unshackling of myriad regulations that drove coal plants into retirement and production down sharply,” reads an NMA blog post published Wednesday.

The Trump administration has rolled back Obama-era environmental regulations. Coal exports abroad are up 60 percent over last year, and analysts expect the U.S. will burn more coal to generate electricity than natural gas.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board also says the industry is on its way back. “Not long ago liberals hailed the demise of coal as inevitable while the Obama

Administration strangled the industry with regulation,” the board wrote in a Wednes-day editorial. “But don’t look now, Tom Steyer, because coal is showing signs of a revival and breathing economic life into West Virginia.”

The Trump administration moved rela-tively quickly to rescind Obama administra-tion regulations critics said hampered the coal industry. That includes rescinding the several major Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations targeting coal

power, including mercury rules and the Clean Power Plan.

But NMA says the coal industry itself has become leaner in the past few years. Major coal producers have emerged from bank-ruptcy in the past year after losing money hand over fist to low-cost natural gas.

“But it’s Darwinian logic that explains most of the revival,” reads the NMA blog post. “Producers that survived the brutal stress test from both shale gas and fed-eral regulation squeezed costs out of their operations, positioning the U.S. to become more than a swing supplier to offshore markets.”

While repealing regulations helped, larger market shifts played a larger role, according to NMA.

US coal producers are confident in expanding their production thanks to President Donald Trump’s coal-friendly policies and strong demand from steelmakers.

Pennsylvania-based Corsa Coal Corp. announced the opening of its second coal mine two months after launching the Acosta deep mine in Somerset County, Pa. in June.

The company made the decision owing to a robust steel marketplace, CEO of Corsa Coal George Dethlefsen told Fox News.

Work on the new mine was halted in 2012. Renovations will start next month with an expected opening early next year.

Trump is a strong supporter of coal and fossil fuels and has rolled back

Obama-era energy regulations that hampered the industry for years.

Dethlefsen believes there is a direct link between Trump policies and the opening of the second coal mine.

“Deregulation has been a tremendous help for the industry,” he said. “The war on coal is over.”

In addition, prioritization of economic growth, manufacturing in the United States, and potential tax reform help create a healthy market environment for coal, he said.

When Trump announced his decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord on June 1, he mentioned the opening of a new mine in Pennsylvania, which was the Acosta mine.

“I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” he said on June 1.

The Acosta mine, 60 miles south of Pittsburgh, was the first new coal mine in a decade. Opened on June 8, the mine will be in operation for at least 15 years, bringing up to 100 jobs.

It “signals a new chapter in America’s long, proud coal mining tradition,” Trump said in a video message that played during the grand opening of the mine in June.

Corsa Coal produces metallurgical coal used in the production of steel and other metals. A recent boom in the steel industry drove up prices for coal.

“The steel industry is undergoing a real Renaissance,” Dethlefsen told Fox News.

Coal production is up 14.5 percent nationwide compared to last year, stated a Wall Street Journal report. Coal exports rose nearly 60 percent in the first quarter from the same period last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

U.S. exports to China surged after China banned importing coal from North Korea in line with sanctions imposed by the United Nations.

“In fact, the U.S. is exporting more coal to every major region, including the EU, where shipments are up by more than a third over 2016,” reads NMA’s blog post. “Nuclear plants are struggling in the UK and in France, creating surprisingly strong demand for U.S. coal. Steam coal exports to Asia, where grids are still growing, have doubled.”

Earlier this year, Cloud Peak Energy CEO Colin Marshall predicted a record year for coal exports.

“There is already a revival in exports compared to this time last year, but that wasn’t due to Trump,” Marshall told Axios in April, attributing export growth to increasing demand in China and South Korea.

However, Trump may deserve some credit for rising exports to China, which has been relying more on U.S. coal for steel produc-tion after the country banned imports of North Korean coal.

China had been lax on enforcing the North Korean coal sanctions, but customs officials ordered North Korean cargo ships loaded with coal to turn around the day after Trump launched a missile strike against Syria’s Assad regime.

The coal export boon may be short-lived,

according to analysts. The Energy Infor-mation Administration projects total coal exports this year will be 17 percent above 2016 levels, but projects exports to only grow one percent in 2018.

Coking coal used to make steel is also currently a hot commodity, and its price can soar whenever a storm hits Australia and shuts down mines as one did this spring. Metallurgical exports to China rose 357% during the first quarter. As much as Mr. Trump denounces China’s overproduction of steel, U.S. coal miners are benefitting.

The bigger story is that there’s still demand for U.S. coal if regulators allow energy markets to work. The Energy Information Administration in June pro-jected that U.S. coal power generation will increase by 13% by 2025 “as the existing fleet of coal-fired generators can be more fully utilized and fewer coal-

fired generators are retired.” With the Obama Clean Power Plan, the EIA had forecast a 2% to 16% decline.

Coal production will likely never return to its heyday of decades ago. Recent bankruptcies that have made coal com-panies leaner and more competitive also mean that fewer workers are needed to produce the same output. But even the current modest rebound is helping coal states.

During the first quarter, West Virginia (3%) ranked second in the nation in GDP growth after Texas (3.9%), according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. New Mexico, another heavy mining state,

came in third (2.8%). Mining resurgenc-es began in West Virginia, Kentucky and New Mexico last summer after the Clean Power Plan was stayed. After plummet-ing last year, Wyoming and Montana’s mining industries grew during the first quarter. Two or three quarters of economic data

don’t make a long-term trend, but all of this is still good news for coal states that have experienced two years of little or negative growth and years of political assault.

amr pemcOStronger Together

Gary L. Sergent - August 29, 2017

In October of 2016 American Mine Research, better known as AMR Inc., announced its intent to acquire the PEMCO Corporation. AMR in Rocky Gap, VA, was founded by Robert “Bob” Graf in 1975 and his passion to improve the electrical safety of underground mining equipment in the Appalachian coal fields by giving the world the first “pilotless” continuity-type ground check monitor. Today, the company has sold over 50,000 ground monitors and offers a variety of solutions for mining, aggregates, oil and gas, water/wastewater, tunneling, and general industry around the globe.

The PEMCO Corporation first opened their doors in 1960 and, through dedication and hard work, built a reputation of electrical

excellence providing custom electrical solutions that went beyond Coal to metal/non-metal mining, oil & gas, utility, power generation, transit, and even the nuclear sector.

On November 8th, 2016, in acknowledgement of the great history of both companies, the two came together as AMR PEMCO. Product offerings focus on increasing safety, as well as operational efficiency and productivity. Solutions include ground check/ground fault monitors, atmospheric monitoring, wireless communications, personnel and equipment tracking, collision avoidance, power centers, substations, dry-type transformers, industrial control buildings, power distribution panels, electronic circuit breakers, and more.

The combined strength of AMR PEMCO’s management, engineering, and sales teams provides customers with an unparalleled experience by utilizing AMR's global sales network and electronic expertise with PEMCO's extensive electrical knowledge. At the time of the merger, AMR PEMCO, had approximately 100 employees and has already grown to more than 150. Tallied with its two sister companies, ERM and CMS, the group employs close to 300 talented individuals and operates four manufacturing facilities in southwest Virginia and southern West Virginia.

AMR and PEMCO truly are, stronger together.

meeting and lOunge areas availableto All Attending Show

Exhibitors and attendees will have new locations to do business, hold a quick meeting, catch up on emails, or just enjoy the buzz of the 2017 Bluefield Coal Show. The Greater Bluefield Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring several meeting and lounge areas inside the Brushfork Armory. These areas will feature charging bars for electronics, tables, and chairs for individuals attending the show.

"It is important to us as the hosts of the Bluefield Coal Show that business is conducted during this show," said Greater Bluefield Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Joshua Cline. "The value of this show comes from the success of the exhibitors and attendees."

While taking time at the areas, guests will also have a chance to meet with local area tourism representatives to learn more about the great opportunities that exist in the Greater Bluefield Region of Mercer and

Tazewell Counties. Several great outdoor adventures, fantastic local food options, minor league baseball, festivals, the arts, and more take place in the region throughout the year. Representatives from the area will be on hand for suggestions on how to make the most of time at the 2017 show and what to come back to the area for at a later time.
