ANTHRACITE COAL IS 94% PURE AND
THEREFORE, IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE
NOTE WELL:
I asked my stepdad, whose father was a
coal miner, why the mines were closed.
His answer, "In the fifties, the power
companies in New England put pressure
on the Kennedys to lift the embargo against
foreign oil imports. The Kennedys got the
laws changed; the power companies, which
up to then had used coal almost exclusively,
now could buy cheaper foreign oil.
The consequence: the coal mines closed."

coal needs to be a certain mix due to spewing Sulfur into the air, and that causes cancer concerns. But if the mix is correct, then no problem. I know about it because I used to be on a project to ship coal to Africa in huge ships. Very complicated business.

Anthracite coal is 94% pure and therefore, it is environmentally safe.
As you know, Anthracite coal is not the same
as sulfur-containing sub-bituminous coal or
bituminous coal, or lignite coal.
Perhaps your company wasn't shipping the
most expensive Hi-grade Anthracite coal.
Indeed, the African countries may have been
purchasing a less expensive low-grade coal
instead, which therefore, could be less safe.

yes, exactly because it is cheaper and they burn what they want, not what is best

thank you for your explanation

it has been many years since I have thought about coal grades
