Mining has changed & so have the faces behind it.
When we picture a miner, many of us still picture the pickaxe, coal dust, hard hats, and faces covered in black from a day underground.
But today’s miners look different. They’re working with autonomous equipment, advanced sensors, real-time data, robotics, remote operations, and technology that makes mining safer, more efficient, and more precise than ever before. The industry still takes hard work, skill, and dedication - but the tools have evolved.
The faces of mining today aren’t just the faces we remember from the past. They’re engineers, electricians, technicians, operators, data specialists, mechanics, innovators, and so much more. Mining has a long history. But its future is being built with technology.

In observance of International Day of Non-Violence. Today we're encouraged by the rich history of social justice our industry has had. How we treat one another matters. Making the places we live and work better than we found it is the true American spirit.
In an industry built on teamwork, communication, and people working toward a shared goal, respect and understanding are essential. We may not always see things the same way, but we can choose to listen, work together, and build something better.
Because progress isn’t just about what we produce. It’s also about how we build it - together.

Do you know what goes into turning the lights on?
Turning on a light may seem simple, but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to deliver reliable electricity to your home, business, and community.
Electricity starts with energy resources that fuel power generation, moves through a vast network of power plants and transmission infrastructure, and ultimately makes its way to the grid that powers our everyday lives. ⚡️
Coal continues to play an important role in this energy system, providing reliable power generation and supporting grid reliability when Americans need electricity most. So the next time you flip the switch, remember: there’s an entire energy system working behind the scenes to keep the lights on. And more importantly, a person.

You may not see them, but you depend on them every day.
The men and women of America’s coal industry do the hard, often unseen work that helps keep our power flowing and our communities moving. They go to work before most of us are awake, work in some of the toughest conditions, and come home knowing their work supports far more than a power plant.
It supports families. It supports rural communities. It supports American industry.
Good policy should recognize the people behind the work and help ensure the communities that depend on these jobs have a future. Coal may not look like much, but it’s the bedrock of the mighty American machine.
Tag someone whose hard work keeps America moving. 🇺🇸

As global demand for energy, infrastructure, and industrial materials continues to grow, coal remains an essential resource for powering economies and supporting modern life.
From generating reliable electricity to producing the steel used in our buildings, bridges, and infrastructure, coal continues to play a critical role both at home and around the world. Today's announcement is another reminder that American coal remains a valued resource in global markets and an important contributor to economic growth, energy security, and job creation.
The commitment for China to import at least 10 million metric tons of U.S. coal in 2027 and again in 2028 reflects the continued importance of American coal and the people who produce it. As the world's energy and industrial needs continue to expand, coal remains a cornerstone of reliable energy, resilient supply chains, and the materials that make modern life possible.
